Perhaps you want to have a look at the Pootle package for Debian. See
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pootle/

About the issues you mention:
 - I think a Pootle user and group would make sense.
 - I think the README is probably done in a distribution specific way.
The HTML documents can probably go somewhere else where it would fit
with the layout of packages otherwise on your system, just as you might
want to move the default PO directory as well.  If you change these, of
course it should be reflected in the default pootle.prefs that you ship
as well.
 - Well, Pootle reads the translations as PO files and uses them live
while running (in other words, any change in the translation of the
Pootle project on the server should reflect immediately in the interface
for that language.  So using .mo files isn't a high priority, although
it is probably a good idea for people that don't want to allow
(re)translation of the Pootle interface.  I haven't checked, but I think
that Pootle and jToolkit (the framework with which Pootle is built)
will / could perhaps fall back to some .mo file somewhere, or at least
the support is there, or something like that (please forgive that I
don't have any details here now :-)  Patches welcome, of course :-)
 - The programs in the toolkit have the command line options --manpage,
which outputs a very basic man page for that command.  There are also
man pages in the Debian package which might be of interest for you.
