I suspect it did. There was some manual stuff that someone else did 
which probably overwrote it.

Thank you.  That works.

So do I just need to run something like

export 
PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin

Fortunately, I saved the terminal output from what the other guy did 
just in case, and have a parallel dev machine to refer to.  This is from 
an echo $PATH command early in that session.

The parallel machine shows:

/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

Are the repeats in that unneeded?  I'm seeing several "/opt/local/bin" 
instances, for example.

Right.

So what happened is that the existing PATH to /opt/local/bin/port got 
wiped, I guess.

Yeah, I checked for a port first and there isn't any yet.  It's a fairly 
new creature.

I don't know how to create a port, and though it would be a good way to 
give back I don't have the bandwidth at the moment to put a lot of time 
into something like that.
