We're in the process of moving all PBI related install files out of 
/usr/local if possible, and instead into /Programs/

This is being done ahead of PC-BSD 7.1, in which /usr/local will ship 
empty, and the user will be able to install their own ports tree without 
it conflicting with PC-BSD related ports / PBIs. (The PC-BSD install 
will be done in /PCBSD/local now)

In the case of your man pages, since /Programs/bin is in the users PATH 
variable, then you should be able to just do a mkdir /Programs/man (if 
it doesn't exist, it will on 7.1 by default), and install any man pages 
into there. This will keep things nice and tidy for the user :)

This may have not been needed, I was just trying to ensure that all bat 
/ bacula files got copied over, but you can feel free to modify those as 
you see fit to clean them up further :)
