Firstly, manpages do not belong in the pkg-plist. they are defined in
the Makefile for the port. MAN1, MAN2, MAN3, etc.. Unless you can find a
way to verify a users locale settings (im sure theres an env/make var
for this) you could just default to english only, and setup hooks for
alternate languages.
.if defined(MAN_LANG)
MAN1= foo-${MAN_LANG} bar-${MAN_LANG}
MAN6= blah-${MAN_LANG}
.else
MAN1= foo bar
MAN6= blah
.endif
Something like this should work. Hope that helps.
