Apparently there is a gnu_info portgroup that handles the issues related to this.

Replying to ryandesign:
Can you determine why the build system didn't do this?
I was too late on Monterey – after a selfupdate gv's Portfile was updated. Here I could see:
DEBUG: activating file: /opt/local/share/man/man1/gv-update-userconfig.1.gz DEBUG: activating file: /opt/local/share/man/man1/gv.1.gz DEBUG: Executing proc-post-org.macports.activate-activate-0 DEBUG: Registering GNU info file /opt/local/share/info/gv.info in /opt/local/share/info/dir using /opt/local/bin/install-info DEBUG: system: /opt/local/bin/install-info /opt/local/share/info/gv.info /opt/local/share/info/dir DEBUG: Executing portactivate::activate_finish DEBUG: Executing org.macports.main (gv)
The INFO file is available.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Can you determine why the build system didn't do this? It probably shouldn't be the responsibility of every MacPorts portfile to manually run
install-info; the build system should do it if it's as necessary as you suggest. If it doesn't do that, you should report that to the authors of the build system so they can fix it.
