export PATH=$HOME/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
It seems that when installing MacPorts it changes $PATH. I manually
adjusted $MANPATH. Would it be appropriate if MacPorts installation
adjusts $MANPATH as well?
Note that the correct manpath is ${prefix}/share/man, not ${prefix}/man.
MacPorts installation does modify the manpath if it thinks that's
necessary. I'm not sure why in your case it did not determine that it
was necessary.
