The one oddity I forgot to ask Dima about was in the man page.
We included an example, which in nroff source is:

When I install this man page on -stable, and do a 'man xargs',
that last line is displayed to the user as:
/bin/ls -1d [A-Z]* | xargs -J [] cp -rp /bin/ls0 0/bin/ls1
I keep meaning to test this on -current, but my freebsd-current
box is at home, and I never remember to try this when I get
home. But at least on -stable, it seems that ANYTHING I put
after the 'cp -rp' gets translated into '/bin/ls0 0/bin/ls1'.
This seems odd to me, but then I don't really know what any
of the nroff macros are doing. (insert weak smiley here)
