I installed FreeBSD, but managed to completely fail at getting
the man pages installed.

Boot up the system and log in as root. Then run sysinstall. Select
Custom -> Distributions -> Custom. From there you can select the
man distribution. Then OK your way back until sysinstall actually
installs the man pages.
I expect you selected a "minimal" install when you installed, which
doesn't include man pages.
