Yep.  Manpages that are installed from the base system sources are
installed under /usr/share/man not /usr/local/man.  The path that man
prints here means that your manpage is installed as part of a port.
Therefore, the source of the port is not under the control of the
FreeBSD developers only, but a "vendor" is involved too.  New
features, changes to the way the program works, bugfixes and other
useful changes should probably go to the original authors first :-)
