No.  The build process of the docs requires many tools from the ports
(jade, TeX, docbook DTDs, etc.).  These are not useful to the vast
majority of the FreeBSD users, and they are not installed by default.

The easier way to update the docs in /usr/share/doc is to download
prebuilt versions of the documentation from an FTP mirror, i.e.:

	ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/
