In answer to my own question, I offer this: The file /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk, which is used during a make install, has recently been modified to automagically add any manpages that are specified in the Makefile's MANx variables to the port's PLIST. This means that, for a little while, a few ports that are installed with the new bsd.port.mk may have duplicate entries for their manpages in the packing lists. I see there's already an enormous amount of PLIST trimming happening, so "a little while" probably won't last too long. Ciao, Sheldon.
