Comment (by mojca):

 Regarding the failure with MacTeX 2017 I don't seem any sane way to
 safeguard for this. The guide explicitly says that this is not the
 recommended way. There is basically no way to predict when such a failure
 would happen. The user might have the latest version of `latex2man`
 installed on top of a super outdated distribution. And MacTeX is by far
 not the only TeX distribution out there, even if it's probably the most
 popular.

 I'm not sure if you were asking for a link to instructions about setting
 up an external TeX distribution, or for instructions themselves.

 The instructions themselves would be to change `binpath` in
 {{{
 /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf
 }}}
 by uncommenting the relevant line and prepending `/Library/TeX/texbin`
 (assuming that's where your TeX distribution is):
 {{{
 binpath
 /Library/TeX/texbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
 }}}
