Yes - the is gs which is an alias to gs-X11.

But this would mean that the one installed by MacTeX is found first, right? I think I want to use the gs from macports and this seems to be the case:

Daniels-MacBook:~ danielb$ which gs
/opt/local/bin/gs

Not that I feel knowledgeable about PATH or so after my embarrassing chmod operation..... Mine looks like this:
Daniels-MacBook:~ danielb$ echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin

I hope that there is nothing unusual here.
