Try running (in tcsh) 'man -d portmaster >& man-portmaster.txt'. This will tell you where man(1) is looking for the portmaster manual file. Among the text in man-portmaster.txt should be something like this: searching in /usr/local/man trying section 8 with globbing globbing /usr/local/man/man8/portmaster.8* found ultimate source file /usr/local/man/man8/portmaster.8.gz to_name in convert_name () is: /usr/local/man/cat8/portmaster.8.gz will try to write /usr/local/man/cat8/portmaster.8.gz if needed status from is_newer() =3D -2 using default preprocessor sequence found tbl(1) directive Couldn't open /usr/local/man/cat8/portmaster.8.gz.tmp5XCE4n for writing. using default preprocessor sequence found tbl(1) directive trying command: (cd /usr/local/man ; /usr/bin/zcat /usr/local/man/man8/por= tmaster.8.gz | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/groff -S -Wall -mtty-char -man -Tasc= ii | /usr/bin/col | less) It should at least contain the first three lines. If not, man isn't searching the right directory.
