Install port without man page

[Ashant Chalasani]

I've experimented with the isc-dhcp3-server port all 3 options -
NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES, NOPORTDOCS and MANPREFIX and in every case there
were manpages installed in /mnt/man/

[root at fbsd70 /mnt/man]# find . -name *dhcp*
./man5/dhcp-options.5
./man5/dhcp-eval.5
./man5/dhcpd.conf.5
./man5/dhcpd.leases.5
./man8/dhcpd.8

However, with
[root at fbsd70 /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3-server]# make install clean
MANPREFIX=/tmp/ PREFIX=/mnt/

we got...

===>   Compressing manual pages for isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.5_2
gzip: can't stat: /tmp//man/man1/omshell.1: No such file or directory
gzip: can't stat: /tmp//man/man5/dhcpd.conf.5: No such file or directory
gzip: can't stat: /tmp//man/man5/dhcpd.leases.5: No such file or directory
gzip: can't stat: /tmp//man/man5/dhcp-eval.5: No such file or directory
gzip: can't stat: /tmp//man/man5/dhcp-options.5: No such file or directory
gzip: can't stat: /tmp//man/man8/dhcpd.8: No such file or directory

Thanks for all the advice.
