Okay, so now I'm thoroughly confused. OS X (10.5.5) reported
nothing when
I did an 'echo $MANPATH' and wouldn't show me a man page for

added 'export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH' to
my .profile and
now at least I can view manpages from macports. Is there a proper
way to
pull this off? Macports 1.6.0 either didn't modify something it
should
have or it is up to the user to add a MANPATH. If there are system
inconsistencies that might happen then that is bad too.
man man should show you this page
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/
man1/man.1.html
So, check /private/etc/man.conf and check that you have no MANPATH
variable.
On Mac OS X 10.4 (and earlier), Apple provides no /private/etc/man.conf.
On Mac OS X 10.5 (and later?), Apple does provide /private/etc/
man.conf and it does set MANPATH. It's not really MacPorts' place to
modify Apple-provided files so we have to work with that file as it is.
