Yes, notes should be documented in the guide. For now, it's documented in "man portfile":


     notes
         Notes for setup and use of the port.  This is shown after the
         port is activated and anytime the notes command is used; for
         example:

               port notes python26

         The advantage to using notes instead of ui_msg is that it can be
         queried after a port is installed but ui_msg is only printed dur-
         ing an install.  Therefore notes is good for any information
         which may be needed anytime after an install.
         Type: optional
         Example:
               notes To fully complete your installation and make python \
                  ${branch} the default, please run: \
                  sudo port install python_select \
                  sudo python_select ${name}
