manindex is generated by imake-using ports after install.  So, we'd have
to hack manindex to remove the index when there are no manpages left,
and run manindex on uninstall as well.  A much better solution, imo, and
the one implemented in the 6.8.1 update floating around, is to simply
not run manindex at all.
