Frank and Jeremy, thanks for so cheerfully dealing with newby me.  I
think it's working now:

$ which gcc
/opt/local/bin/gcc

But for whatever reason the PATH I'm getting back is _not_ what I set
in ~/.profile:

Here's the entirety of .profile (now that I've cleaned it up):
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

But when I open a new terminal and echo path I get
$ echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

Still at least now /opt/local/bin are in front...  but where did the
other stuff come from???
