See the /usr/ports/misc/freebsd-doc* ports. They will install
the documentation in a freebsd/ subtree at the obvious location.

	% ls /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd
	de@              en@              faq@
	de_DE.ISO8859-1/ en_US.ISO8859-1/ handbook@

As you can see from this example, I have the "en" and "de"
languages installed. The articles/ and books/ subtrees will
contain the HTML files.

I think that's because of the move of documentation out of the
base system, into separate ports for the supported languages.

SGML source files are in /usr/src/release/doc (part of
the system sources).
