Using groff

I need to write a man page for a port I just adopted. I have absolutely no 
experience dealing with man pages or groff. Would one of you gurus point me 
at a good tutorial. The man page for groff is pretty overwhelming. I googled, 
but didn't find much that wasn't in the man page. Is there a tutorial 
specific to man pages? I can copy the style from other pages, but I have no 
clue where to begin.

TIA,
Beech
