Correct way to install preprocessed man pages

Hi all,
I am putting a new port together, but the source for the man pages is
not provided in the source tar for the package (and I can't find a
public repo). Instead only the "preprocessed" version is included.
What is the correct way to install these man pages? Using INSTALL_MAN
to drop them in man/manX obviously causes formatting oddities, so should
they go in man/catX? I can see some other ports do this, but it seems a
bit hacky as the MAN[1-9] variables cannot be used and the man pages
will have to be listed in pkg_plist.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!
Jake
