I don't know where the problem is, the manpages are gzipped by the internal MacPorts destroot code and links are also corrected accordingly.
I've found the same problem, also as described by #16354. i.e. I installed coreutils with the with_default_names variant; and now have symlinks for the default-named man pages that are supposed to point to the 'g*' named pages: {{{ $ ls -l /opt/local/share/man/man1/{g,}ls* -r--r--r-- 2 root admin 2964 16 Jan 16:33 /opt/local/share/man/man1/gls.1.gz lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 31 16 Jan 16:34 /opt/local/share/man/man1/ls.1@ -> /opt/local/share/man/man1/gls.1 }}} As you can see, the actual man page is compressed, but the symlink points to a non-existing uncompressed version of the man page file. Thus, "man ls" does not bring up the man page for the MacPorts 'ls', ("man gls" does, but that's a very awkward thing to have to remember).
