I am looking at a package where the program is called "microdc2" (the
successor to "microdc") and its man page is called "microdc.1".
As a user, I would have expected it to be called "microdc2.1".

I would like to rename the man page or at least add a link (soft? hard?)
for microdc2.1.

I agree that this is slightly confusing/surprising, and having a"microdc2.1" man page makes sense. Go ahead and use a soft link. Thepkgsrc infrastructure understands how to deal with soft links when doingMANZ processing.
