The GNU versions of commands have a "g" prefix in that package, although they're also in /opt/local/libexec/gnubin without the "g" prefix.  I suppose
that's so one doesn't accidentally get a version of a command that behaves differently than the (on a Mac) frequently non-GNU version that comes with the OS.
