I figured out the manpages. Just need to copy the tmac files from 2bsd 
into /usr/lib, then copy the *.u files into /usr/man/manu, then:

    man vi
    VI(UCB)             UNIX Programmer's Manual VI(UCB)



    NAME
          vi - screen oriented (visual) display editor based on ex
    ...
    Printed 1/1/70               4/4/79 2
