MANPATH, like PATH, is a colon-separated list. In this case, it's a  
list of places where the "man" program looks for manual pages. So you  
probably want all of those places that you have listed, so that "man"  
can find all manuals, not just those for software installed by  
MacPorts in /opt/local.
