The tools have been moved to the ports collection.  For an
equivalent setup, install:

  textproc/iso8879         (ISO character entities)
  textproc/linuxdoc        (linuxdoc DTDs)
  textproc/docbook         (DocBook DTDs)
  textproc/jade            (SGML parser and DSSSL processor)
  textproc/sgmlformat      (the old sgmlfmt command and instant(1))

Then you can zap /usr/bin/(sgmlfmt|sgmls|instant) and
/usr/share/sgml/* to avoid confusion.

bsd.sgml.mk lingers because I have not expended the five minutes
necessary to rewrite the Makefiles for the handbook and FAO. 
Once I do that, bsd.sgml.mk will vanish.   BUT...if people are
still using bsd.sgml.mk for their own projects...hmm...how best
to deal with this?
