One thing I could add here to make it complete.
In the 'pkg upgrade' process I was informed that all the 'man pages' packages
would be removed from my system as shown below.

Number of packages to be removed: 118
Number of packages to be installed: 8
Number of packages to be upgraded: 275
The operation will free 108 MiB.
Proceed with this action? [y/N]:
I agreed to that - and I ended up without 'man pages' ... and that is by design
because all the 'man pages' were moved to one single 'FreeBSD-mandoc' package -
which can be installed without any problem.
# man ls
zsh: command not found: man
# pkg install -y FreeBSD-mandoc
# man ls
(works)
