Why? We support gzipped manpages just fine.
Consistency if nothing else..
That's only because we started supporting gzip'ed manpages
not so long ago.
Both man(1) and apropos(1) have been supporting them for years,
long before both were switched to the mandoc implementation.
And that no one bothered removing the patches. But for new ports,
I see no reason to patch out for something we support.

Thanks for the valuable input. I've made good progress and I'm not
almost at the point to send the port to the list. But there are two
questions right now:
1. The port is a daemon. And a daemon needs a rc.d script. So I've
created one according to
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/specialtopics.html#RcScripts
I place it in pkg/udpxy.rc and run make plist. This gives me a
complain:
make-plist: Bogus element outside of every prefix: /etc/rc.d/udpxy
I optimistically ignore it and continue with make package. But the
script doesn't get included in the package. What step(s) am I missing to
get script included into the package?
2. I've prepared a patch for the Makefile of the software to prevent
gzipping of the man pages:

Is this the best/right way to do it?
