Hmm, you're right, it is mentioned in bpm, but I find it a bit hard to
understand:

# MANPREFIX     - The directory prefix for ${MAN<sect>} and ${MLINKS}.
#                 Default: ${PREFIX}
# MAN<sect>PREFIX
#               - If manual pages of some sections install in different
#                 locations than others, use these.
#                 Default: ${MANPREFIX}

In particular, I don't quite get this "some sections install in different
locations than others" part.  Why so complicated?  What exactly does it
suppose to mean?

So how come if it is correct for section N of the manual to use MAN<N>PREFIX
is it only used in bsd.perl.mk?  Frankly speaking I've never seen this
variable until today, which means vast majority of ports do not use it...

>From that description in bmp, it kinda seems MAN<N>PREFIX should be used in
some special occasions (unless I'm utterly wrong and miss some important
point).  For normal cases, more opaque MANPREFIX should be used, and I don't
see how this port is not normal.

I'm all eager to be educated further, please pardon my ignorance.
