 I installed GNU coreutils as follows:

 sudo port install coreutils +with_default_names

 This works fine, but the man page for "ls" that comes up after this
 install is the BSD ls man page, not the GNU ls man page.  Furthermore,
 this isn't because the BSD man page directory is earlier in the MANPATH
 variable.  The reason it happens is that the file /opt/local/man/man1/ls.1
 is a symlink to a non-existent file /opt/local/man/man1/gls.1.  In fact,
 the correct file is gls.1.gz, so you should have a symlink between ls.1.gz
 and gls.1.gz.  Once I installed this symlink by hand everything worked the
 way it should.
