docbook2pdf is part of textproc/docbook-utils so now we have all
dependencies correctly set.

Yes, but we don't want them ;)

*Some* people do not want them, so it should be configurable (with
the default for at least the official package build cluster to be
enabled).

Can't we just fetch the file as DSITFILES from somewhere?

Do you want to invest time to build the port + manual, make the manual
available somewhere, and modify the port each time to fetch it?

What's wrong with having it build on the pointyhat cluster for those
which build a package and to make it an option for those which build
the port?

I think some ports have split the docs into their own port, e.g., gimp. Is that a reasonable approach here? The fact that a lot of the gnome stuff A) makes docs by default, B) with no option to turn it off, which C) pulls in a ton of docbook and other deps; is not something I'm fond of, and would prefer to not see repeated elsewhere. :)
