Comment(by fgp@…):

 I've now updated the Portfile to install the main catalog. While doing so,
 I also added a post-activation hook which adds the catalog to
 /etc/sgml/catalog using xmlcatmgr. (funnily enough, xmlcatmgr also
 supports SGML catalogs. See the "-s" switch). The hooks were shamelessly
 stolen from docbook-xml-4.2's Portfile, and adapted to use xmlcatmgr in
 SGML mode. To keep the post-activation hooks as similar as possible, I've
 also renamed instdir to install_dir and made it *include* the prefix.
 Seems more sensible that way anyway.

 My grand plan is of course to get docbook SGML processing to work out-of-
 the-box with macports. Towards that end, I've also created a port for
 docbook-sgml-4.2 (macports currently only includes the xml version). I'll
 add that to trac soon.

 With these modifications to the docbook-dssl port and the new docbook-
 sgml-4.2 port, two issues remain before docbook SGML processing has a
 chance to work. First, the iso8879 port needs to be modified to also add
 its catalog to /etc/sgml/catalog. And second, openjade needs to be taught
 to actually use the information in /etc/sgml/catalog. Currently, it only
 looks for a master catalog in /share/sgml/catalog, I think. My plan is
 first to submit a patch for iso8879's Portfiles, and then to see what can
 be done about openjade.
