On my system with MacPorts trunk, the FILES part of "man  
macports.conf" reads:


FILES
      ${prefix}/etc/macports/macports.conf
                 Standard system-wide MacPorts configuration file.

      ~/.macports/macports.conf
                 User-specific configuration override. This file, if  
found,
                 will be used instead of the default file at $ 
{prefix}/etc/mac-
                 ports/macports.conf.


Still, this should be in the Guide, since the Guide should contain  
everything.
