On the command line this is true. In an application such as TeXShop  
or Aquamacs Emacs it can be different. To make sure that only the  
MacPorts Ghostscript is used, you can simply remove /usr/local/bin/gs  
(or rename it) and then create a symbolic link /usr/local/bin/gs  
pointing to /opt/local/bin/gs. Then it still can happen that the  
shell scripts installed with elder Ghostscript

could be used, but since they in the end need a gs programme, it will  
be the one from MacPorts.

Besides these files (and gs) there is the directory /usr/local/share/ 
ghostscript. And then there are the manual pages in either /usr/local/ 
man or /usr/local/share/man:
