how to invoke emacsclient

I have installed the emacs-app port. I see that it puts all of its content
under the /Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents folder, including the
"emacsclient" and other command-line utilities under
/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/.

If I want to use emacsclient as my EDITOR environment variable, should I
add that (long) bin directory to my $PATH setting? or maybe put the entire
long path to the utility as the value of the EDITOR variable?

Should the installation of the emacs-app port automatically add that
directory to my $PATH?

Naively, it seems a little strange to me that I should have to mess with
such detail.
