Why do you think it is gone? I have asked for a repo-copy of all
relevant files:
contrib/groff/src/preproc/eqn/eqn/neqn.sh,v
contrib/groff/src/roff/groff/groff/groff.man,v
contrib/groff/src/devices/grotty/grotty/grotty.man,v
contrib/groff/src/libs/libgroff/libgroff/cmap.cc,v
contrib/groff/src/libs/libgroff/libgroff/cset.cc,v
contrib/groff/src/libs/libgroff/libgroff/illegal.cc,v
contrib/groff/src/roff/nroff/nroff/nroff.man,v
contrib/groff/src/roff/nroff/nroff/nroff.sh,v

It was repo-copied to gnu/usr.bin/groff/tmac/hyphen.us-ru.
In short:
1. All FreeBSD-specific contrib/ files were moved to gnu/ with repo-copy.
2. All FreeBSD modifications have either been incorporated by the vendor,
or merged with the new release. Nothing got lost!
Note: the KOI8-R locale support for -mdoc (gnu/usr.bin/groff/tmac/koi8-r)
is still loaded and actived on -Tkoi8-r option to troff(1), but due to the
difference in implementation (the current implementation simply redefines
some -mdoc string variables), if you run ``nroff -mdoc'' for English manpage,
and your LANG environment variable is set to ru_RU.KOI8-R, you will get the
corrupted output.
Setting -mdoc locale based on the type of the output device is bogus.
I am about to introduce another way to set the -mdoc locale in the near
future. For now, make sure you pass the correct groff(1) device to
nroff(1) script, similar to how this is done in man(1).
Cheers,
