The FreeBSD Handbook section on Creating CDs (
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html
 ) references man pages for mkisofs(8) and cdrecord(1).  Unfortunately,
these man pages, since they're for programs from the ports collection,
aren't currently part of the online man system.

Is there a standard method/location for man references to programs in
the ports collection?  If so, what is the proper way to create
references to documentation for ports programs such as those listed
above?

If there isn't currently a standard location for ports man pages would
there be strong objection (for historical reasons, technical reasons,
etc) to adding a new man section specifically for programs from the
ports collection?  (Apologies if this is an idea that's already been
flamed to death)


Thanks,
  Marshall
