 We do install port-specific man pages everywhere.  E.g.
 
   macppc$ grep /sparc/ /etc/mtree/set.man | wc -l
         70
 
   macppc$ find /usr/share/man/man? -mindepth 1 -type d | wc -l
         98
 
 so if you want to get rid of /usr/share/man/man8/apmd.8 you will need
 to move it to /usr/share/man/man8/{foo,bar,...}/apmd.8 which just adds
 churn.
 
 Can we please just leave this thing alone?  The extra set lists and
 multiple port-specific copies of man pages will probably take more
 space than is saved by not installing the apm binary :)
