https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=268567

            Bug ID: 268567
           Summary: FreeBSD basic manual pages should not depend on
                    external packages or ports
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wosch@FreeBSD.org

I tried to read the "lesskey" manual page and got this error:

$ env PATH=/bin:/usr/bin /usr/bin/man lesskey
This manpage needs groff(1) to be rendered
First install groff(1):
pkg install groff


Looking for other manual pages with the same problem I found another one:

$ find /usr/share/man /usr/share/openssl/man ! -name mandoc.db -type f -print0
| perl -n0e 'chomp; print qq[PATH=/bin:/usr/bin; ulimit -t 30; /usr/bin/man $_
>/dev/null 2>&1 || echo $_\0]' | xargs -0 -n1 -P$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) /bin/sh -c

/usr/share/man/man1/lesskey.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/cxgbetool.8.gz
