it seems that /usr/ports/infrastructure/man is not searched by default, and
there is no example in man.conf for it. given that some pages like dpb(1)
are there, and referenced thruout a number of pages (eg bsd.port.mk), this
seems an oversight.

on a releated note, it also seems that ports/infrastructure/man/mandoc.db
is also not created by default.

the diff below adds a manpath to man.conf, but that still doesn't fix the
issue of ports/infrastructure/man not being searched. perhaps this should
be taken out of examples? or at least some note should be made in ports(7)
or the FAQ that one should add this? many regular manpages reference it,
and 'man dpb' never works by default.
