You probably do not need to remove MacPorts. If you do want to,
instructions are in the FAQ:

$MANPATH is empty on my system, but "man port" still works fine.
In /opt/local do you have a symlink from man pointing to share/man? I
do.
I believe you either need this symlink, or you need /opt/local/share/
man in your $MANPATH.
