"port help" is the command you want to use, not "port info" - that is
for an entirely different namespace.

Jordan,

In a week you have graciously twice reinforced the importance of namespaces (besides this thread, also the thread about Unix usernames using underscores in Leopard such as _postfix).

Thank you for making the world a better place and helping educate people in the MacPorts community these important concepts (it makes the community stronger, and is such a welcome relief to the legacy approach to the world that some have taken such as Microsoft). Its great to be working with Xserves, iMacs, Macbooks, OS X and MacPorts!

Best,

T.M.
