--- Comment #1 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt at FreeBSD.org> ---
mandoc can only work with .gz compressed manpages as it uses direcly zlib to
read them.
While man itself can still work with other compression format due to the fact
we do still use the shell wrapper on top of mandoc, other tools cannot, so
supporting anything else than .gz in ports as no sense.
