No. There is rudimentary support in the default style sheets though, you may want 
to give this a try.

xmlto man <docbook file>

This is purely time dependent. Open a bug, I'll estimate the time and the time 
allocation dice get rolled.

It would be nice to get a complete man page in docboook format attached, or a book 
containing such a page referenced.

see: http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/refentry.html

Is this for stand alone man pages? Or man pages embedded in a document (so it's in 
the PDF etc) and installed as man pages?

Cheers, Jeff.
