Just use `man /full/path/to/the/manpage`. Also check man(1) and man.conf(5) on how to specify additional MANPATHs. > From "man hier", it looks like the man pages should have been put into > "/usr/local/man". Is that correct?

It's not uncommon, but such stuff should be fixed when porting something from "Linux world" and manpages should go to /usr/local/man, as hier(7) tells.
