You're running Linux, SunOS, or Irix? _OPSYS_HAS_MANZ is defined in 
pkgsrc/mk/defs.XXX.mk; "yes" means "this OS can read compressed 
manpages." MANZ is defined in /etc/mk.conf; if defined it means "I want 
my manpages to actually be compressed." There's a bug in 
pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.mk. If MANZ is defined and _OPSYS_HAS_MANZ is "no", 
you wind up with ".gz.gz". Also, the code that decides whether to 
compress a manpage doesn't exactly match that which modifies the PLIST. 
I've got a version that fixes this and other bugs; it needs a regression 
test to make sure it doesn't break any platforms.

If you can actually read compressed manpages, change _OPSYS_HAS_MANZ to 
"yes" in defs.XXX.mk, and add "MANZ= 1" to mk.conf.
