It appears that libsvm doesn't install a manpage. "locate" only works if you've enabled the locate command (it's off by default on Mac OS X) and also the locate database only updates once a week. "which" should work right away, assuming you're typing the name of a program that's actually installed and is in your PATH, and notably, the libsvm port doesn't install a program called svm. "port contents libsvm" shows you what it does install.

The MacPorts installer tries to set up the PATH for you, so it may already be set. "echo $PATH" would tell you: if it contains /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin you're good to go.
