I don't think so. In fact, IMO the man page should be THE definitive 
documentation for any software.

I assume you've contacted the man page's author (or the port maintainer, 
as applicable)? If you're getting no love there, you could always fix 
the manpage yourself and submit a patch. Just a thought.
