groff alternative?

Hello,
I'm using NO_CXX in my make.conf to strip down the base system to ~50MB
including man pages. The only problem is that groff is missing if I don't
build c++, and even if I build groff itself and the needed libstdc++ it costs
me about 10MB. If I just skip NO_CXX it's only 500k more, so I moved my
patches to /dev/null.
Now I wrote a port for GNU/groff, but this also consumes 9974k by default and
I don't want to include patches into that port to strip down groff, if that
was possible at all.
Does anybody know any alternative for the groff part to view man pages simply
with the man command? It's horrible that the filter needs more space than all
the manpages itself!
And of course, even if I decide to leave system man pages outside the flash
card I still may want to read man pages of installed packages (which is
another mountpoint on my installation, so there may be no space limit,
depending on the card and additional drives)
Thanks,
-Harry
