David: the reason you couldn't get the port command to work is that it
probably isn't in your path; I had the same problem. It's in
/opt/local/bin and you either need to type that path or add it to your
path. Be sure to do
sudo port selfupdate (with full path if you haven't included it in your
path)
once you've installed the ports package and before you try to install
individual packages.
For those who want more information:
darwinports adds packages so that you can do more things from the
terminal/command line. You can get more details and I think find a
mailing list at
http://darwinports.opendarwin.org
