I would say that it was definitely worth it. There can't be that many
people yet who can configure bind-8 without reference to the
documentation.

Besides, installing the man pages is simply the right thing to do <g>.

If you don't want to force this on everyone, could the port query the
installer? E.g. "Do you want to install the man pages? N.B. This
involves fetching an additional ~1MB tarball."

BTW, does your port offer to run the bind-4 to bind-8 conversion script,
included with bind-8?
