If you mean "is it technically possible to do this?" then the answer is
definitely yes. If you mean "is it permitted to do this?" then I think
the answer would be yes too. (it seems to be under the BSDL)

What needs to be done is: You take the source file (you can find it on
your FreeBSD system probably, under src/usr.bin/make/PSD.doc/) remove
the groff formatting, and mark up the text using DocBook tags. It could
possibly even be automated to a degree, although you would still need to
invest time for manual work as well.

If you feel like doing this, I think this would be welcome. For help
with DocBook, I recommend the docbook-tdg port, which installs the book:
DocBook: The Definitive Guide in electronic form.
