Assuming the source in is /usr/src:
   cd /usr/src/usr.bin/renice
   cp renice.8 renice.8.orig

Edit the new version as desired.  When done,
   cd /usr/src
   diff -u usr.bin/renice/renice.8.orig usr.bin/renice/renice.8 > ~/renice.diff

This is a bit easier if you use Subversion to check out the source.

The use of asides, "the affected processes will run only when nothing 
else in the system wants to", and "administrative fiats" make me 
twitchy.  It seems more complicated than necessary and could stand with 
some clarity improvements.
