I've attached the log file, and I've got a solution that worked for me.

The problem was that perl's Locale::gettext was not properly installed. Attempting to install it through ports or cpan also failed, complaining of a missing libintl, or being unable to find the gettext libs.

I was able to install Locale::gettext by obtaining the source, and running

CC='cc -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib ' perl Makefile.PL

before 'make && make install'

After Locale::gettext was installed, I was able to install help2man through ports.

OK, so looks like a duplicate of #21069. Feel free to reopen if it's not the same thing (would need to look at the config.log to know).
