  How do you intend to display .Pxr?  How will it be made clear to the
user that this might not be installed?  The only thing I can really
think of is appending "P" or "ports" to the manual section.  So

.Pxr cvsup 1

  Would be displayed as cvsup(1-ports) or cvsup(1P) or something.  A
patch to intro() could then explain this convention.

  Do you have any other ideas?
