Yeah, that looks normal. It should be fairly obvious if a port build
fails i.e it tells you in fairly certain terms. If that is the case,
post the error messages & a few lines before it starts to blow up.

An easy way to see whether a command is in your path is whereis(1)

What you probably have to do is:

# rehash

if you're root or

$ hash

if you're an ordinary user. These commands make your shell rescan the
dirs in it's $PATH.

No worries.

A couple of tips for the future: address your questions to questions@
rather than chat@ and preface your question with the output of: 

$ uname -rms
