I've had a quick look into this, and here's what's happening:

man.cgi references /usr/local/www/bsddoc/bin/man.cgi which doesn't
read man pages from the same place as the man command.  It looks in a
subdirectory (according to the OS queried) of
/usr/local/www/bsddoc/man to find manual pages.  In the case of
FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE (which the query you cite uses), there are no
manual pages in man1 or cat1 for any of the ssh commands.

I'm not sure what the right way to fix this is, but I hope I've been
of some help.

Tom
