Man pages are not exported interfaces, but they certainly import (or 
adhere to) the interfaces defined by the man page project 
(directories, formats, names...)

Having them enumerated in a pkg manifest is usually sufficient, 
especially if they are going into the "right places".  The project's 
spec needs to note what those "right places" are in this situation; 
the easy place to do this is one line in the interface table :-)
