I suspect that the purpose of the SFW source packages was to satisfy
the GPL requirement of publishing the changed sources and build 
environment.  Is that still relevant now that everything is published
on opensolaris.org?

Again, I know this has been like that since the dawn of SFW, and it
was obviously modeled from SUNWman.  But I would argue that
if we create separate Solaris packages for each GNU package, then the
place of the manual pages is in those packages, together with the
artifacts that they describe.  Same goes for info docs.
