Ultimately it's of course your call as a port maintainer how to better serve 
your port users, but we have MANPAGES knob and there are many precedents in 
the ports tree where it's used for exactly this reason (heavy-ish build 
dependencies).

I use conky in gui-less mode (consuming its json output in i3bar) and it's 
seems wasteful to build ghc/pandoc just to get a man page (which I never knew 
existed).

Best regards,
