Comment:

 Temporarily filing this as a base bug, where it should be if the problem
 is indeed ours and spans multiple ports. All in all, I'm not sure if
 there's something we can do about this problem:

  1. The ports providing localized man pages or not is not something that
 is up to us is any way, we are just a sort of "distributor point" of the
 packaged software and not the vendor.
  2. Maybe there's some `whatis(1)` or other type of magic that we could do
 from within `port(1)` to serve the installed man pages regardless of the
 locale...? I wouldn't bet on it, though...

 Suggestions welcomed!
