GnuCash uses yelp to display help files, and the MacPorts version of  
yelp seems to be broken.  There are no handlers installed for  
actually displaying things, which is why selecting the menu items  
appears to do nothing.

You can try it yourself: open-x11 yelp; you should find GnuCash (and  
other) docs on offer there.  Selecting any document results in an  
error message.  IOW: The docs seem all right, but the Gnome program  
that is required to display them does not work.  Unfortunately, the  
yelp port does not seem to have a maintainer, so I don't know who to  
turn to.

FWIW, the same documentation is also available on the web:
