The plan for now is to use 9 base troff and a pager which has not yet been picked. Currently 9 base troff has been added to the src repo, but the mdoc macros still need to be included (the ones from heirloom troff worked). As such you should be able to manually view pages using the man macros but not the mdoc macros (e.g. sbase man pages won't work). I don't think there is a plan yet on how to handle the search/troff/pager setup, whether a man script like plan 9's or something else entirely. A minor point, the man macros included with 9 base troff seem to add page breaks. I started to learn troff to remove them but I got side tracked by other projects. If you come up with a good solution start a discussion.
