Equivalent in that they are both used by path_helper, but not in terms
of how. /etc/paths is processed before /etc/paths.d/macports and would
allow for /opt/local to be placed earlier in the environment variable.
If the concern is just to get port-installed software to be accessible
with minimal fuss, then I'd agree that a /etc/paths.d/macports file is
a great option, but being able to override the default software seems
like a really big plus.
