You've got it the other way around: you're searching for the string "/ 
opt/local/bin/" inside all the files located in the directory /usr/ 
share/bin/, and are finding lots of matches.

It looks to me like you have MacPorts installed in /opt/local/bin,  
but for some reason have set a symlink /usr/share/bin pointing to / 
opt/local/bin. You should delete that symlink.
