Problem with macports install, any help greatly appreciated

[John Essam]

Have found gimp help binary file

gimp-help-2.6.0-html-zh_CN.tar.bz2   from ftp://ftp.gimp.org, it is a  
zipped file

is this the right file to use as my present onscreen help is not  
working, see below.

if so how do I get it into macports and where should it go.
