 The openssl package installs several man pages in man section 1 whose
 names overlap with various standard Mac OS X commands, such as passwd.
 This causes commands such as {{{man passwd}}} to display the man page for
 {{{openssl passwd}}} instead of the {{{passwd}}} user account password
 changing utility, if man has been configured to search in
 /opt/local/share/man before searching in the normal man locations.

 Some Linux distributions deal with this by renaming the openssl man
 section 1 pages to ssl-name or openssl-name, such as
 [http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-
 libs/openssl/openssl-0.9.8k.ebuild?view=markup Gentoo]. (look in the
 src_install() method).

 Could MacPorts' openssl port do something similar?
