From a brief perusing of the source, the undocumented -d parameter. I
think you need to do
sgmlfmt -d docbook -f html test.sgml
which should generate the output you want.
However, FWIW the FreeBSD Documentation Project is not using sgmlfmt
any more (well, OK, we are, but I'm trying to move us away from it as
rapidly as possible). As per the primer, you should really be using the
DSSSL stylesheets and a DSSSL processor (i.e., textproc/jade) to do this
sort of conversion.
Hope that helps,
