yelp as installed by MacPorts does not know how to display them, even
if you navigate to them manually. However, the gnucash-docs package
provides an HTML version for you to peruse; it is installed in /opt/
local/share/doc/gnucash (as mentioned in "port info gnucash-docs").
Or you could always decide to fix the yelp port. If you do, be sure
to submit patches! :-)

Never seen this myself, although Finance::Quote (the perl module used
to do the dirty work) is known to be a bit picky and may hang for a
long time if the web page it's reading from does not contain exactly
what is expected. There's been a bit of discussion about this on
gnucash-user.
Please make sure to cc the list on replies.
HTH!
