[root@ffmpeg /]# LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/myapps
But that's not where your libs are. You should set LDFLAGS to -L/usr/local/myapps/lib

BTW, it doesn't need .so. That's dynamic library (shared object), that gets loaded at runtime. It wants the static library libogg.a to link against.

It's likely that you will need to define the path to header files also, export
Code:
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/myapps/include

And as I am looking at the output of ./configure --help (of some other program, but should be same), I read:
Code:
--with-zlib[=DIR]       use zlib (located in directory DIR, if supplied) for
                          gzip compression and decompression . [default=yes,
                          if available]

So the following should take care of it, without messing with env vars:
Code:
./configure --with-ogg=/path/to/ogg

man.conf

MAN.CONF(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						       MAN.CONF(5)

NAME

     man.conf -- man(1) and manpath(1) configuration files

DESCRIPTION

     The man.conf file is used to configure the manual search path, locales, and utility set for man(1) and its related utilities.  During ini-
     tialization, man(1) reads the configuration files located at /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf and /etc/man.conf.

     The files contained in /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf are intended to be used by the ports(7) system for extending the manual set to support
     additional paths and locales.  /etc/man.conf is intended to be used by the local administrator to set additional policy.

     Currently supported configuration variables include:

	   MANCONFIG	 Overrides the default location to import additional manual configuration files.  Defaults to /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf.

	   MANPATH	 Adds the specified directory to the manual search path.

	   MANLOCALE	 Indicates support is available for the given locale.

     For pages in a given language, overriding the default toolset for display is supported via the following definitions:

	   EQN_LANG
	   NROFF_LANG
	   PIC_LANG
	   TBL_LANG
	   TROFF_LANG
	   REFER_LANG
	   VGRIND_LANG

     See the EXAMPLES section for how to use these variables.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     The parser used for this utility is very basic and only supports comment characters (#) at the beginning of a line.

FILES

     /etc/man.conf		     System configuration file.
     /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf     Local configuration files.

EXAMPLES

     A perl port that needs to install additional manual pages outside of the default location could install a file in
     /usr/local/etc/man.d/perl.conf with the following contents:

	   # Add perl man pages to search path
	   MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man
	   MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/perl/man

     A Japanese localization port could install a custom toolset and include a file in /usr/local/etc/man.d/ja-man-doc.conf with the following
     contents:

	   # Setup Japanese toolset
	   MANLOCALE	   ja_JP.eucJP
	   EQN_JA	   /usr/local/bin/geqn
	   PIC_JA	   /usr/local/bin/gpic
	   TBL_JA	   /usr/local/bin/gtbl
	   NROFF_JA	   /usr/local/bin/groff -man -dlang=ja_JP.eucJP
	   TROFF_JA	   /usr/local/bin/groff -man -dlang=ja_JP.euc.jp

     If the system administrator decides to override the LOCALBASE make(1) variable causing all ports(7) to be installed into /opt instead of
     /usr/local, specifying the following in /etc/man.conf will accommodate this change:

	   # Look for additional configuration files
	   MANCONFIG /opt/etc/man.d/*.conf
