man pages can't be considered optional (despite what RMS says). They're
not fancy extra HTML API documentation, they're core, so they don't get
a USE flag.

Of course, if FEATURES were in the USE expand list, you could use
! features_noman ? ( ) ...

Except that no{man,info,doc} are on the to-die list anyway.
