What is the 'right' thing to do then ?

Postpone the inclusion of bsd.own.mk after NO_MAN definition ? This makes
the .if $MK_SHARED_TOOLCHAIN to not work.

Or, continue to do what I have done, using 'MAN=3D' instead ?

N.B. I will commit the change, with defaults kept to build toolchain static,
just to avoid bikeshed.
