Now, all of these DO exist, in the ports tree.

Question: should the base system manpages be self-contained 100%, or is
it better to also point people to optional software that may or may not
be installed ?..

I believe there's no 100% correct answer.

For instance, info mode in emacs and the relationship between .texi 
and the TeX formatter are tight enough that I believe those references 
are innocuous.
