There used to be a NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES variable similar to NOPORTDOCS
and NOPORTEXAMPLES.  NOPORTDOCS became the DOCS option and
NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES became the MANPAGES option.  Unlike NOPORTDOCS
though it was only used when extra dependencies were needed to build
manpages, otherwise manpages are always installed.  So in this case
it would be okay to add the option.
