The help output mentions a manpage but there is none in the package.

Thank you for checking.

I am not sure what the error could be.
 From my build folder:

----

Folder PATH listing for volume Windows
Volume serial number is 00000046 78D6:FE93

jdupes.1
----

I suppose that "jdupes.1" is the file that man shows to the end-user.

Also from the makefile

----
install: $(PROGRAM_NAME) installdirs
	$(INSTALL_PROGRAM)	$(PROGRAM_NAME)   $(DESTDIR)$(BIN_DIR)/$(PROGRAM_NAME)
	$(INSTALL_DATA)		$(PROGRAM_NAME).1 
$(DESTDIR)$(MAN_DIR)/$(PROGRAM_NAME).$(MAN_EXT)
----

and in the cygport file I do a cygmake install...

Could it be that "jdupes.1" should go in another directory?

I am not familiar with man pages (as developer)

It should go into /usr/share/man/man1/.

I am not really familiar with cygport, sorry. It needs trial-and-error 
in my experience.

I think the jdupes.1 manpage is in the package, but it's not installed 
in a location where man is going to look for it.

Yes, the fact that /usr is omitted suggests MAN_DIR isn't being set 
correctly by that Makefile.

Solving problems by thinking about them is usually much more efficient 
than a thud-and-blunder approach.
