Comment(by Peter_Dyballa@…):

 Yes! It's simply not enough to create INFO files from the TEXI files and
 install them in /opt/local/share/info. Without a "dir" file in this
 directory GNU Emacs or xinfo (or any possible other INFO file reader)
 won't the documentation. A final step has to be:

 {{{
 pushd /opt/local/share/info
 install-info <INFO file> dir
 popd
 }}}

 The packages' Makefiles will have entries to install the INFO file(s)
 correctly. Maybe this fails in MacPorts due to the hard-linking which
 might leave something out or because someone decided to make it simpler to
 swap different versions of a software package.
