I am missing something here ... why is it easier to convert the
manpage to HTML and read it in lynx than to use man(1) and reat it with
your PAGER of choice (usually less(1) by default these days)?

But, in aswer to your question, you could use the man.cgi that runs on
freebsd.org either via the internet or, if you are running a local
webserver, on your own machine.
