It turns out to be a little easier than xpm, since there's no way the
package rman could be installed to ${X11BASE}.
If no one objects, I'll commit the patch below, conditionally set
IGNORE in textproc/rman, change the only package that currently
depends on rman -- tkman -- to use USE_RMAN, and then proceed to rip
"rman" out of the kdebase package, replacing it with USE_RMAN.
I'm DEPEND'ing on 3.0.9 exactly, since earlier versions had the
more restrictive license.

Let's see. Imake.tmpl sets BuildHtmlManPages to YES conditionally on
RmanCmd being set, which in turn is set if BuildRman is set to YES. We
could turn the html man pages off by setting ``#define
BuildHtmlManPages NO'' in NetBSD.cf, as is done in linux.def, but I'd
rather not. I kind of like them. As a matter of fact, I wish we would
install the source man pages (for rman/tkman), and while I'm wishing,
the font metric (.afm) files for t1lib.
I think we could do the PLIST munging conditionally on finding
BuildHtmlManPages in Imake.tmpl, but that will mess up folks who've
set BuildHtmlManPages to NO in their own host.def. Just don't do that!
