Comment(by dports@…):

 erc is included in emacs and it looks like the included version is 5.3,
 same as the port. This seems to be the latest version. So it's possible
 the port is redundant. Though
 http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/?action=browse;id=ERC suggests there are
 extra modules not included with emacs, maybe the port includes these?

 I dealt with this in the org-mode port (which provides a newer version
 than the one included with emacs) by renaming the info file to include the
 version number. If it's going to come up for lots of emacs packages,
 though, it might be worth putting all of emacs's info files into
 /opt/local/share/info/emacs-$version/ or something like that -- this would
 also be useful if you want the info for both emacs and emacs22 installed.
 I'll see what it would take to do that; I'm not that familiar with info
 files.
