 I think we should just submit the patch as is rather than fixing
 makewhatis(1).  tuning(7) written by the same author just uses
 'FreeBSD' instead of .Fx and therefore shows up properly.
 
 I could not find any other examples of man pages that have this
 problem, leading me to conclude that hacking up makewhatis would be
 overengineering the solution.
