--- Comment #28 from John Marino <marino at FreeBSD.org> ---
I did some research.
compress-man target is essentially an internal target.  It can be overridden. 
Your definition of MANCOMPRESSED here did nothing.

I think if you had:
compress-man:
YOUR_MAMA_IS=UGLY

it would have the same effect.  (Try it!)
It basically blocked the default "compress-man" target from executing.  
by the way, anything after a target has to be indented.  I'm not sure why
make(1) didn't scream at you.

I don't really follow.
If you don't install this file, does anything break or malfunction?
