There used to be a NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES variable similar to NOPORTDOCS and NOPORTEXAMPLES. NOPORTDOCS became the DOCS option and NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES became the MANPAGES option. Unlike NOPORTDOCS though it was only used when extra dependencies were needed to build manpages, otherwise manpages are always installed. So in this case it would be okay to add the option.
