Ports should honour the NOPORTDOCS make variable and not install any
documentation (including man pages).

You can add 'NOPORTDOCS=yes' to /etc/make.conf to have it apply
generally, or you can apply it while installing an individual port
by eg:

    # cd /usr/ports/some/port ; make -DNOPORTDOCS install

or 

    # portinstall -m NOPORTDOCS=yes some/port

and half a dozen or more variations on those methods.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
