we often use a prefix in the filenames for these (e.g. m4 -> gm4).

if groff requires this, you probably want at least a RUN_DEPENDS
on iconv (I would be more worried about possible dependency loops if
this is used to build certain other basic ports with, than I would
with trying to make it lightweight).

There are various "The program `gs' cannot be found in the PATH"
during configure, and this during build (not fake):
Using perl version of groffer.
install: groffer.man: chown/chgrp: Operation not permitted
*** Error code 71 (continuing)
Build for all aborted

adding this (and of course re-generating PLIST) helps:
MAKE_FLAGS += docdir=${PREFIX}/share/doc/groff \
exampledir=${PREFIX}/share/examples/groff
