Comment (by raimue at macports.org):

 Ok, to explain this a bit:
 The installers in .dmg are created using `port dmg MacPorts`. As the port
 system always gzips man pages after destroot, they are also gzipped here.
 `make install` does not gzip the man pages, as there is no such code in
 the Makefile. So this needs to be added to the Makefile in order to avoid
 duplication.

 Also, future installations should remove non-gzipped versions of
 `${prefix}/share/man/port.1' and similar for porthier.7, portfile.7 etc.
