Its a GNU program and comes with texinfo documentation rather
than a man page.  In FreeBSD-current, this can be found in
/usr/share/info and read with the info mode in emacs, or the info
reader.  

It might be good to provide a minmial man page (a slightly
more verbose version of "ptx --help" with a refernce to the info
page.
