Comment (by JDLH):

 The upstream developers have come up with patches to their manpage sources
 which move the `.so` requests to the first line of their respective files.
 I tested a patch on the freeciv @2.6.4 build directory within MacPorts. It
 was successful.

 My test method:
 {{{
 % sudo port uninstall freeciv
 [… output omitted for brevity …]
 % sudo port build freeciv
 [… output omitted for brevity …]
 % cd `port work freeciv`
 % patch -p1 <…/…/0027-Make-man-page-links-to-work-on-OSX.patch

 So I think we don't need to do anything about this ticket within MacPorts.
 I'll keep an eye on updates to MacPorts. When the successor to Freeciv
 2.6.4 is released, I expect that will contain the fix to this ticket.
