MANPATH is supposed to be empty, as man(1) will then deduce the paths from the PATH environment variable. > Note that the use of the phrase "non-interactive mode" for this > switch is in contradiction to the documentation of the command > argument, which it claims if I give the command argument, then I am > not in interactive mode already...

"Interactive mode" is the port shell you get when you launch port(1) without arguments. The -N flag is supposed to avoid any questions to the user. These two things need to have distinct names. In order not to break existing documentation, the -N flag should rather be called something like "no-questions mode". We should also rename the ui_interactive option in macports.conf accordingly.
