Hi Hezekiah --

I just installed macports 1.4.2 and man pages are intact. I take it it's
not a path problem?

$ echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin

Did you check the contents of an installed package such as autoconf?

$ port contents autoconf | grep man
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/autoconf.1.gz
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/autoheader.1.gz
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/autom4te.1.gz
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/autoreconf.1.gz
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/autoscan.1.gz
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/autoupdate.1.gz
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/config.guess.1.gz
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/config.sub.1.gz
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/ifnames.1.gz
