 Thanks for your submission; it had been so long since
 the last update, I was I was waiting for 2.6.0 to put
 one in...    ;)
 
 You shouldn't have to tinker with the source like you
 did in your patch: just issue
 "--mandir=${MANPREFIX}/man"
 as part of the CONFIGURE_ARGS in the port Makefile. 
 Since the existing port Makefile already has
 GNU_CONFIGURE=yes, this should be issued
 automatically, but for some reason in line 58 of the
 existing Makefile, the author used "CONFIGURE_ARGS="
 instead of "CONFIGURE_ARGS+=", wiping out the default
 CONFIGURE_ARGS.  I think this should be changed to
 "CONFIGURE_ARGS+=".   
 
 By setting MANCOMPRESSED to the appropriate value in
 the Makefile, you should obviate the need for
 explicitly issuing commands to compress manpages.
