If the port controls installing the manpages, then you can set 
NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES in /etc/make.conf.
If they're installed by the underlying software's install script, then you 
can't control that from the port.
You can of course, nullfs mount the ${LOCALBASE}/man directory on the image 
build machine to a different location and then unmount it from under the 
image once all ports are installed.
Linking to /dev/null as suggested will likely screw with install targets.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
