--- Comment #2 from Oliver Fromme <olli at FreeBSD.org> ---
This problem affects me, too, on several machines.
It still exists in the ports tree today (2019-08-30).
It happens when these two conditions are met:
 - The X11 option is DISABLED.
 - graphics/netpbm is already installed.
In that case the textproc/groff port tries to install the HTML docs without
building them first, leading to the failure described by the reporter above.
This needs to be fixed.  I don't think the situation is very uncommon.

As a workaround I've appended the following lines to /etc/make.conf:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/ports/textproc/groff}
PLIST_SUB+=     HTMLDOCS="@comment "
.endif
