Thanks. I feel stupid now (through my own stupidity and not the fault
of anyone here but me).
I should have looked at that before. I have always done a minimal
install of FreeBSD (well, for 6.1 and 6.2, didn't use FreeBSD before
that), and have not had any problems getting the man pages before. Is
this new, or is my memory going/gone?

None of the default man pages were installed on my system when I
installed FreeBSD recently. I figured I forgot some part of the
install (accidentally forgot to click something). Does anyone know how
I can trivially obtain the base install's man pages?
Boot up the system and log in as root. Then run sysinstall. Select
Custom -> Distributions -> Custom. From there you can select the
man distribution. Then OK your way back until sysinstall actually
installs the man pages.
I expect you selected a "minimal" install when you installed, which
doesn't include man pages.
