install sbcl doesn't make the info files

I've just upgraded my sbcl installation.

For some reason, while the system builds and runs nicely, the  
documentation does not -- or at least not doc/manual.

Here is the last part of the "sudo port -v sbcl" output:

I have the complete output, if it's useful.   I've tried to build  
just the documentation myself without using port -- having untarred  
the files into my home directory -- but that appears to be harder  
than I expected, as it looks for test results, etc.

I really wasn't wanting to stop and learn about portfiles, etc., just  
now, but I would like the .info files available in emacs...

Suggestions welcome.
