A meta-port allows you to install the required tools (textproc/docproj/) to build de docs.. If you CVSup the doc/ branch of the FreeBSD repository (see /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile) you will get all documentation sources and Makefiles. http://www.bsdnews.org/02/freebsd_doc.php is a quick tutorial on Handbook compilation. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/ will also give you a lot of informations.
