Manpages are an integral part of the program source for many of the
base system utilities. Therefore, it's difficult to run just `one'
command and have all the manpages that `installworld' gives you.
But you can safely delete (or simply move away) the existing
/usr/share directory right before `make installworld'...
Try this:
# cd /usr
# mv share share.old
# mtree -deU < /etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist
and then run `make installworld' in /usr/src. After installworld
finishes successfully, you can delete share.old. It's no longer
needed (unless you have manually installed stuff in there).
