This is buggy ^^ you probably want to patch the upstream Makefile to respect
DESTDIR as it does for all other files it installs.
What you want is to change line 321 of Makefile.in to add $(DESTDIR) yes with
parenthesis before $(mandir) as they already do in install-binPROGRAMS

And upstream will also want that patch as that makes their installation system
consistent

Wrong. Not with stage, see:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/ports/StageDir
and 
http://blogs.freebsdish.org/portmgr/2013/10/03/staging/

the MANx macros never took care of installing the manpages btw.
