```
  install(FILES ${sphinx_output_dir}/${cmd}.8
    DESTINATION ${CEPH_MAN_DIR}/man8)
```

you need to conditionalize the DESTINATION arg.

i think the manpages of section#8 installed by ports should go to
/usr/local/man/man8. see
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hier&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current&arch=default&format=html.
for example, wget's manpage is located at
/usr/local/man/man1/wget.1.gz

you might need to add an add_custom_command() and conditionalize the
install() function to the loop of "foreach(man ${man_srcs})" to
install the gzipped man pages for FreeBSD. please be sure to
`find_program(GZIP gzip)` before using "gzip".

I meant to write /usr/local/share/man/man8. Which is an odd mix of what
goes under Linux and FreeBSD packages.

Ah, I looked there, but obviously not deep enough in the tree.

Yup, that is where I copy them right now in the ports Makefile.

I'll have a shot at it.
