FAQ, I think.  For csh/tcsh, issue "rehash":

# portinstall myfooport
# myfooport
myfooport:  Command not found
# rehash
# myfooport  --version
Welcome to myfooport v0.0.0!

If you are indeed having this problem with /bin/sh,
I'm not at all sure why, as I think it rereads the
executables in $PATH fairly continuously (but then,
I hardly use it for interactive use).  A brief test
here didn't show evidence that this would be a problem
for sh, though.

HTH,
