There are three parts:

(1) Stop with the nroff dependency in things using bootstrap-mk-files
(2) Remove catinstall from MANINSTALL. This is similar to the current
issue on NetBSD.
(3) Fix imake to always install man pages. I'm currently working on
this.

It shouldn't be too hard to port NetBSD's man subsystem to pkgsrc for
people wanting sane tools e.g. on Solaris :)
