They are merged with your patch here:

While modifying imake-4 is enough to avoid html manpages being installed, that
works only for upgrading with up-to-date imake-4 port. As this tends to be
forgotten, I've also explicitly modified others to not install html. While
this affects package contents, I don't think that it affects users enough to
warrant PORTREVISION bump, but I still don't have a proper feeling for that.

Makes sense. I'll dig up xfree-dri port I have somewhere then.
