If you omit the block, then the default "compress-man" target runs, as you
would expect.  If you define "compress-man:", it doesn't matter what comes
after because it will skip the default target and run it instead.

That's no surprise.  It doesn't affect installation, only compression.

The logic is in Mk/bsd.port.mk.
The point I was making is that the contents of your target (MANCOMPRESSED=yes)
did nothing.  The affect was from the definition of the target (the
"compress-man:" line)

Modify this file is not permitted (it has to have same contents at
deinstallation as it does at installation)
If it's designed to be modified, then just remove it from $STAGEDIR in a
post-install target and remove it from pkg-plist.  It is not useful (according
to you) so just don't install it at all.
