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.
Right ;) I considered that just after I sent my previous mail.

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.
