The port astro/xephem fails to build on recent 12-CURRENT (12.0-CURRENT #39
r319759: Fri Jun  9 22:30:07 CEST 2017 amd64) with the error shown below.

I think this is a fallout due to the removement of GNU roff from the base
system, see src/UPDATING, date tag 20170531.

The problem can be fixed by adding

BUILD_DEPENDS= nroff:textproc/groff

to the port's Makefile. A more sophisticated way would be a dependency on the
OSVERSION
