Correction and apologies for a mistaken post. I was using -m instead of -M
and got the old manpages. It wasn't until I copied
/usr/local/man/man1/groff.1.gz to my home directory, gunzipped it and
looked at it that I realized my mistake. The manpage installed with pkg
_is_ the correct one and the correct command to get it is:
"man -M /usr/local/man groff" (or one can set this directory ahead of
/usr/share/man on MANPATH)
