For what it's worth, one of the posters to the bug tracking page
reported that for help2man:
The problem was that perl's Locale::gettext was not properly
installed. Attempting to install it through ports or cpan also
failed, complaining of a missing libintl, or being unable to find
the gettext libs.
I was able to install Locale::gettext by obtaining the source, and
running
CC='cc -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib ' perl Makefile.PL
before 'make && make install'
After Locale::gettext was installed, I was able to install help2man
through ports.
For me finding and installing the source code for a perl library
seems more trouble than it is worth. I'm starting to think if I
want linux-y type things like GNU software, my best best may be just
to install a linux distro in a virtual machine. I'm digressing off
topic here, but just the fact that I have to register as an Apple
Developer and give them all sorts of personal information to get
Xcode makes me think trying to use the *nix tools with which I am
familiar is going to be a pain. I was hoping I could have the best
of both worlds with my Mac, but I'm starting to be pessimistic. I
hope someone will tell me I'm wrong though!
In my experience most ports install as expected.
