This one seems to be a problem in /usr/share/mk/bsd.man.mk - I haven't 
fixed the problem yet, but a work around is to disable the section that 
handles links to man pages:

.if defined(MLINKS) && !empty(MLINKS) && defined(NOTYET)
	@set ${MLINKS}; \
	while test $$# -ge 2; do \
		name=$$1; \
		shift; \
		dir=${DESTDIR}${MANDIR}`expr $$name : '.*\.\(.*\)'`; \
		l=$${dir}${MANSUBDIR}/`expr $$name : '\(.*\)\..*'`.0*; \
		z=`expr $$l : '.*0\.\(.*\)'`; \
		name=$$1; \
		shift; \
		dir=${DESTDIR}${MANDIR}`expr $$name : '.*\.\(.*\)'`; \
		t=$${dir}${MANSUBDIR}/`expr $$name : '\(.*\)\..*'`.0$${z:+.}$${z}; \
		echo $$t -\> $$l; \
		rm -f $$t; \
		ln $$l $$t; \
	done; true
.endif

The problem occurs on the "z=`expr...` line.
 
Adding the " && defined(NOTYET)" part causes it to skip, and avoids the 
problem.  Chris Demetriou claimed in an e-mail to me that the problem was 
"fixed by a recent change" to bsd.man.mk, but I've got the absolutely 
most current version (SUPped to yesterday AM, and compared to the 
version in the /pub/NetBSD/src/share directory), and the problem keeps on 
happening.
