Comment:

 Comparing your output to mine, I see the last command was:

 {{{
 :info:destroot install-info --info-
 dir=/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_groff/groff/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info
 \
 :info:destroot
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_groff/groff/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/groff.info
 }}}

 On my system this produces no output, indicating success, but on yours we
 see:

 {{{
 :info:destroot install-
 info(/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_groff/groff/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/groff.info):

 :info:destroot install-

 no default file /usr/share/base-files/info.dir available, giving up.
 :info:destroot * Groff: (groff). The GNU troff document formatting system.

 :info:destroot make[1]: *** [doc] Error 2
 }}}

 On my system I don't have any files /var/backups/infodir.bak or /usr/share
 /base-files/info.dir either, so that doesn't appear to be the problem.

 The install-info program is part of the texinfo port, which I have
 installed, but which is not listed as a dependency of groff, so you might
 not have it, in which case on your system it would be using the install-
 info that's part of OS X. On my Snow Leopard system this still works, but
 maybe the version on Lion is different.

 Try installing the texinfo port, cleaning groff and trying again. If that
 works we can add the texinfo dependency to the port.
