- All of the apps of the FreeBSD system have one or more man pages.

The FreeBSD can not be held responcible for missing man pages for thirth
partie software.

- Most apps out the port system have one or more pages.
- Some apps have there own websites with information. The URL is in the
  port directory; or in the google database.
- Some apps have documentation ins /usr/local/share/doc/<app>

You'll have to make do with what you can find. That just the way it is,
sorry.
