 That is only added to CONFIGURE_ARGS if configure --help | grep --
 --mandir returns a positive result.
 
 However, the configure script that is included in the current dhcpcd
 distribution does not.  It's not a autoconf generated configure
 script.  But it's close (and I want other things that GNU_CONFIGURE in
 bsd.port.mk provides, such as --prefix and --build for cross builds,
 etc.).  We could just as well use HAS_CONFIGURE instead of
 GNU_CONFIGURE and provide --prefix, etc., manually in addition to
 --mandir.  But I chose to use GNU_CONFIGURE and add --mandir manually.
 
 We could add a comment explaining it since it's a bit abnormal...
 
 # current configure script won't trigger the bits in bsd.port.mk to add
 # --mandir, so do it manually here
 CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --mandir=${PREFIX}/man
 
 No response from maintainer now for a couple weeks.
