I implemented man page changes for lutimes, futimes, getdents and 
lchmod this morning.  Bde said I didn't have to bother documenting 
n*stat :-).

mdoc(7), mdoc.samples(7) and /usr/share/examples/mdoc/* (these are
skeleton man pages for you to edit to taste) are a few good
ways to start learning.  Or do it the way I started, grab
a man page that looks similar to what you want to do and
start editing.
