Sorry, it was a very busy time for work, no free time for free software…
Please could you run these commands
$ tar xf owfs-2.9p8.tar
$ cd owfs-2.9p8
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure
$ make -C src/man
$ make -C src/man prefix=/tmp/owfs install
and check if the relevant man pages are actually in
/tmp/owfs/share/man/man{1,3,5,n}? Under Linux I find
/tmp/owfs-2.9p8/build$ ls /tmp/owfs/share/man/man1
libowcapi.1 owdir.1 owget.1 ownet.1 owpresent.1 owshell.1
libownet.1 owfs.1 owhttpd.1 ownetapi.1 owread.1 owtap.1

In https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ac9b425c5ffc4cc39596 you will find a
typescript of what happens under Debian 7.7 GNU-Linux when I run those
commands. Please feel free to post your output on gist and I will check what's
wrong.

PS:
as what regards patching for a portable make: unfortunately there is no easy
solution, unless a very verbose (and difficult to maintain Makefile.ac) is
written. I'm in favour of *explicit* Makefile.am files, in which every file is
listed, but not to repetition.
The actual snippet:
## man sources
MANFILES = \
owcapi.man ...
man1_MANS = $(addsuffix .1,$(basename $(MANFILES)))
to be portable should be written as
## man sources
MANFILES = \
owcapi.man owfs.man ...
man1_MANS = owcapi.1 owfs.1 ...
Since there are 120 man files, keeping the MANFILES and man1_MANS man1_MANS
man3_MANS man5_MANS mann_MANS targets consistent is an error prone task. I
understand that this could be obtained by a shell script, but even this is not
possible in a truly portable makefile.
PPS:
The old makefile for man pages was based on a non portable shell script that
was disabled under BSD and OSX, so please check if in previous versions the
missing files were present.
