After following the suggestion of Matt to modify my man.conf clear my
MANPATH variable,
i now can see man pages for all the ports (or so it seems so far).
Thanks.

Hello,
i have a small problem.
I have just installed MascPorts, and tried
$ man port
but received
No manual entry for portgroup
Maybe your $MANPATH doesn't include /opt/local/share/man/, if
you add
export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:/opt/local/man:/usr/share/
man:/usr/local/share/man
to your .profile all should work correctly.
I thinks the tiger version of man have hardcoded other paths,
since
MANPATH doesn't have to include system man page folders.
My MANPATH is empty but I still seem to be able to read manpages
for ports. I'm on Tiger.
look up man(1) for the details, but on Tiger the man command
looks at each item in your PATH, changes any "/bin" into "/man",
and searches there for manpages.
To bring this back to MacPorts, if I remember correctly, this is
the only reason why ${prefix}/man -> ${prefix}/share/man is still
around. It was decided ages ago that the canonical location for
man pages is ${prefix}/share/man
Ok, after changing my MANPATH, i can use
$ man port ,
but not man for specific ports.
For example,
$ man transfig
or
$ man xfig
do not work.
I don't have those ports installed. Are you certain they have man
pages in /opt/local/share/man?
What are the other directories that i should add to MANPATH?
Here are my variables:
MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:/usr/local/teTeX/man:/usr/local/share/
man:/usr/share/man
PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/
usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/bin
INFOPATH=/usr/local/teTeX/info:/usr/local/share/info:/usr/local/
lib/info:/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info
Thanks.
Alexey.
I would really suggest reading the section "SEARCH PATH FOR MANUAL
PAGES" in man(1) and the corrosponding config file /usr/share/misc/
man.conf. Then set up a MANPATH_MAP for "/usr/local/teTeX/bin/
powerpc-apple-darwin-current". Finally, clear your MANPATH
environment variable altogether.
