     dist/dhcp/server/Makefile.dist contains these lines to make the
substitution:

dhcpd.leases.cat5:      dhcpd.leases.man5
        nroff -man dhcpd.leases.man5 >dhcpd.leases.cat5

dhcpd.leases.man5:      dhcpd.leases.5
        sed -e "s#ETCDIR#$(ETC)#g" -e "s#DBDIR#$(VARDB)#g" \
                -e "s#RUNDIR#$(VARRUN)#g" < dhcpd.leases.5 >dhcpd.leases.man5

However usr.sbin/dhcp/server/Makefile doesn't do any kind of special
handling of the manpages.  The question is how to do the above in the
context of a BSD makefile?
