The FreeBSD manpages are in -mdoc format, not -man (well most of
them). A list was posted on -doc recently listing those still in
-man format. I've tried viewing FreeBSD manpages on a Sun (so I
could print them) and only a few worked as the mdoc macros are
different on Suns (SunOS 4.1.3 at least).
Have you tried with some of the other tmac macros on HPUX & Solaris,
in /usr/share/tmac/, or similar, with nroff(1)?
