Comment(by kh@…):

 I bow to your superior knowledge.
 I had indeed done a selfupdate - but have again repeated the uninstalls,
 selfupdate, reinstalled p5-locale-gettext and tried help2man - which
 failed a shell command as before apparently the same one. So I went into
 the main logfile and found the complaint about a shell command "cd ... &&
 ./configure ..." However, when I go into the .../work/help2man-1.38.2
 directory indicated and try a manual configure the second line says -

 checking for module Locale::gettext... no

 tries a few other things OK and barfs with a final line

 configure: error: perl module Locale::gettext required

 and, it appears that it is installed as you said earlier.

 I don't know where the Perl gettext module is supposed to be - but in
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level/Locale there is a
 module gettext.pm - the file date is 1 Jun 2005 and the length 6834 bytes!
 It looks OK as a Perl module (mind you I'm more a Python man myself).

 I manually ran the module test in the config file to see the detail of the
 failure. It reported -

 sh-3.2# perl -mLocale::gettext -e 1
 Can't load '/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/darwin-
 2level/auto/Locale/gettext/gettext.bundle' for module Locale::gettext:
 dlopen(/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/darwin-
 2level/auto/Locale/gettext/gettext.bundle, 1): no suitable image found.
 Did find:
         /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/darwin-
 2level/auto/Locale/gettext/gettext.bundle: mach-o, but wrong architecture
 at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/darwin-2level/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
  at -e line 0
 Compilation failed in require.
 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

 which might indicate something in the dynamic loader module.

 Over to you again!
