A quick check around some computers that I have on-line shows two sets
of v6 man macros, one for nroff and one for troff.  This is on a NeXT
running NeXTstep 3.3.  But I suspect that these same macros are
available on anything with a BSD 4.3 flavor.

/usr/lib/tmac/tmac.an6n
/usr/lib/tmac/tmac.an6t

About 200 lines total between them.

With the right macros, [ntg]roff should be able to do everything else.
