Most stock FreeBSD installations don't need to run catman, because cat pages for the default locale (which are also used for any locale man(1) doesn't recognize) are included on the installation ISOs and installed by default. Adding cat pages for the other locales man(1) recognizes (en.ISO8859-1 and en.UTF-8) would add around 13 MB to the ISO and 20 MB to the installed system.
