pango fails to build on netbsd-9?

[David Brownlee <abs%absd.org@localhost>]

I'm just trying to build a gtk2 using package on NetBSD-9/amd64
(recent netbsd-9 from nycdn), and the pango build fails with

help2man: can't get `--help-all' info from
/var/obj/pkg/devel/pango/work/pango-1.50.14/output/utils/pango-view.sh

It builds fine on netbsd-10 - this is all from latest pkgsrc, am I
missing anything obvious?
