Untested, but you'd do something like:

   (element quote
     (make sequence
       (literal "``")
       (process-children)
       (literal "''")))

Try putting that in doc/share/sgml/freebsd.dsl (see "(element sgmltag..." 
for another example in the same file.

If you look in the tree you'll see that there's also a doc/<lang>/share/sgml
directory that already has a freebsd.dsl file.  We can customise <quote>
handling on a per language basis. . .
