In general you should ask this question on the cygwin mailing list.
This one is for discussion between package maintainer, or are
you planning to become one ?

My solution for similar issue is to make a dummy source package with
just a readme inside

src_compile() {
         :
}

src_install() {
         # copy of the data from ...

         ORIG="/cygdrive/d/cyg_pub/devel/tesseract/git"
         cd ${D}/usr/share/doc/docbook-xml...
	wget https://docbook.org/xml/mathml/${VERSION}/dbmathml.dtd
}
