Setting MANINSTALL?=maninstall in mk/defaults/mk.conf and MKCATPAGES=no
in pkgtools/bootstrap-mk-files/files/bsd.own.mk seems to work for the
few packages that I checked.

Also, shouldn't we add nroff to USE_TOOLS automatically when
MANINSTALL=catinstall and MKCATPAGES=yes?

You mean this mdocml thing?
http://www.headcrashers.org/pkgsrc/reports/current/OpenIndiana/oi151a/i386/20120208.1045/mdocml-1.12.0nb1/build.log

Solaris nroff isn't able to render mandoc manpages, so I found the
catpages pre-rendered with GNU nroff quite useful. Except for the fact
that most of them were installed with the wrong suffix, so that man
didn't find them.
