Hi!

The man.cgi script itself is in the docs svn repo:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/doc/head/en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/cgi/man.cgi?revision=54262&view=markup
We find that each released version has that version's ports tree.

Yes, exactly.
Any ideas on how man.cgi can be made to also display ports head man pages ?
