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.
