By "infrastructure", did you mean pkgsrc? I cannot see the code that is 
supposed to do that. I grepped for "roff", but found nothing interesting.

There are implementations of X11 that behave differently (XFree86 4.5 
and XFree86 4.6). How do you intend to support them both without having 
the IMAKE_MANINSTALL variable?

I think it is just as complicated as it has to be. Otherwise, how do you 
generate two bin-PLIST entries from one src-PLIST line, without skipping 
  some of the PLIST transformations for one of the items?
