I don't think we should try to define an exhaustive list.
A real-world need for a _REGION-coded manual page may come up
in any port at any time and is hard to predict.

That said, the following currently exist:

sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_AU/man1/deja-dup-preferences.1
sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_AU/man1/deja-dup.1
sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_CA/man1/deja-dup-preferences.1
sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_CA/man1/deja-dup.1
sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man1/deja-dup-preferences.1
sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man1/deja-dup.1
comms/wammu/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man1/wammu-configure.1
comms/wammu/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man1/wammu.1
games/wesnoth/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man6/wesnoth.6
games/wesnoth/pkg/PLIST:@man man/en_GB/man6/wesnothd.6
sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/fr_CA/man1/deja-dup-preferences.1
sysutils/deja-dup/pkg/PLIST:@man man/fr_CA/man1/deja-dup.1

I think those are silly and should simply be deleted.
I mean, come on, British translations of American manuals?
Or Quebequois ones of French manuals?
That does not make any sense, really.


Then there are a number of /pt_BR/ in addition to /pt/.
That looks suspicious, but i don't speak Portuguese,
so it may or may not make sense, i don't really know.

That's it, at this time, as far as i'm aware.

Good point.  The hanterm(1) port that i fixed a few days ago is such
a case.  The documentation is exclusively provided in Korean.
