Hmm, are you using gmake for compiling or the BSD make?! We're using a
normal rule there, but if the man files creation makes problems you
could simply try the attached patch via applying it in your
gtranslator/man/ directory and then try it again (it patches
Makefile.am).

Are there any other problems for FreeBSD present while compiling?
