 Unfortunately, your patch doesn't fix the underlying problem, which is that
 the "compress-man" target of bsd.port.mk strips off the path of any symlink
 that is created.  It can't handle the case where you want to symlink a
 manpage from a different category.  The old-style MLINKS make variable did
 this correctly, which is why this problem only popped up after the switch to
 a staged buld.
 
 Modifying your patch to simply copy the file instead of symlink it
 (attached) works around the bug.

 Work around a ports bug wrt symlinking manpages in different
 categories, by copying the manpage instead.
