'No manual entry for port'

[Adam Neather]

Gotcha.

In other news, I'm back to square one. I used 'sudo port install' to
get py-numpy and py-cython, but py-scipy failed. I rebooted the Mac,
and now I get 'No manual entry for port' etc. again. Even running the
setenv command that fixed it before isn't doing anything.

This is painfully confusing. I've installed MacPorts a few times on a
couple of Macs, never had this much trouble before.
