You've removed the manpage entries from pkg/PLIST, yes?

# Understand I deleted all the other manpages listed (they all look

# bsd.port.pre.mk and bsd.port.post.mk but that had no effect.

# BTW, notice that bsd.port.pre.mk and bsd.port.post.mk are documented

# As soon as the pkg_delete thing gets figured out, I'll commit the new
