to MANPATH.
Even if MANPATH is not empty, you shouldn't do this, as this can lead
to inconsistencies. If for some reason, your MANPATH is not empty,
make sure it ends with ":" (so that default paths are added).
Apple sets the MANPATH to "/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/
X11/man" on Leopard for you. So at least Apple doesn't think it
should end with a colon.
The MacPorts installer does add the MacPorts path to the MANPATH for
you in your .profile if MANPATH is not empty and does not already
contain the MacPorts manpath. Are you saying the MacPorts installer
shouldn't do that?
