In Terminal (as opposed to X11 xterm) where "port search php" works:
/sw/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/ sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6/man

Should there be (Was there an) /opt/... when it worked?
Maybe Porticus hosed it?

MacPorts does not set your MANPATH to anything. You may set it if you wish.

I see /sw in your path there. So I guess you have Fink installed too. That's just asking for trouble. I recommend you use either Fink or MacPorts, but not both. Completely remove the one you no longer wish to use.

I also see /usr/local in that path. Stuff in /usr/local can interfere with MacPorts too. I recommend you remove everything from /usr/local and use MacPorts to install whatever software you need. If software you need is not in MacPorts, portfiles can be added.
