Then that is another issue.  Man pages should all live in /usr/local/man,
all MANPAGES values would be relative to /usr/local.  I think that it
should be doable, all be it a little tricky.

I would just as soon have the gzip commands be gone from the ports
makefiles, there are far too many of them around.  If you need some
help from me to try and make this work I would be willing to help
some time after June 15th (target date for move completion).
