Comment (by jokkel at gmail.com):

 After just installing, I had the same problem. Although .profile contained
 the following lines:
 {{{
 # MacPorts Installer addition on 2008-06-22_at_14:34:42: adding an
 appropriate MANPATH variable for use wi$
 export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH
 # Finished adapting your MANPATH environment variable for use with
 MacPorts.
 }}}
 The manpath hadn't changed as env showed. And so there was no man page
 available for port and installed ports. But the changes to path worked.
 {{{
 jokkel at myMac:~/$ env
 MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11/man
 (…)
 PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin
 }}}

 Adding the following line to .bash_profile finally did the job.
 {{{
 export MANPATH=${MANPATH}:/opt/local/man
 }}}
 It works now. I'm not sure what went wrong. But this should be fixed, as
 it is really a basic flaw on non english systems.
