Does building a port modify PATH so it would ignore the gnubin
directory?
Yes. The environment variable PATH is by default set to
${prefix}/bin:${prefix}/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11/
bin
during the configure and build phases.
It can be changed by editing the binpath variable in macports.conf if
you know what you're doing.
I'm happy with the current setup, don't mind tweaking the occasional
Portfile which I do, so don't really want to move them into a new
directory.
You would only have to add ${prefix}/gnubin at the front of your
PATH to
use the GNU versions.
${prefix}/gnubin would be an mtree violation, which we try to avoid,
but ${prefix}/libexec/${name} could be reasonable, and has precedent.
