 .if ${OPSYS} == "SunOS" || ${OPSYS} == "AIX"
         # the pre-generated man-pages are 'mandoc';  these OS need 'man'
         nroff -man ${WRKSRC}/pkgdepgraph.1 > ${WRKSRC}/pkgdepgraph.0
 .endif
 
 I suspect adding a matching USE_TOOLS+=nroff will make it work. Or
 dumping this. (Or making it match only solaris<=10, or something like
 that.)
 
 It is bizarre that any roff shipped in the last 35+ years wouldn't
 understand -man, so I expect the pkgsrc environment is breaking it.
