You're right - there is no "man" command in CDK and the manpages package.
However:
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
*man-1.4j*
--------
- what is it?
- Program for displaying man-pages on the screen or sending them
to a printer (using groff).
- system
- Windows NT4 German / SP3
- preliminaries
- none
- configure
- edit configure
- change "prefix=/usr" to "prefix=/usr/local"
(or whatever you want or just leave it as it is)
- run "configure -d"
- make
- edit src/man.c
- add "#include <getopt.h>"
- comment out line 1020 (setlocale)
- edit src/Makefile.in
- add "-DNONLS" to "DEFS="
- edit src/util.c
- comment out line 93 and 94 (setreuid, setregid)
- run "make" as normal
- make install
- works without changes
- edit /usr/local/lib/man.config according to your system
- notes
- couldn't get man-1.5a to run properly, you can build it nearly
the same way as 1.4j, but it will crash, whenever you run the
resulting binary
- package availability
- on ftp.franken.de
- in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael
- as man-1.4j-win32-bin.tar.gz
- or man-1.4j-win32-bin.zip

------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
If it should be of any use, you also need:
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
*groff-1.10*
----------
- what is it?
- The groff package provides compatible versions of troff, nroff,
eqn, tbl, and other Unix text-formatting utilities.
Groff is used to "compile" man-pages stored in groff/nroff
format for different output devices; e.g., for displaying to a
screen or in PostScript(tm) format for printing on a
PostScript(tm) printer.
- system
- Windows NT4 German / SP3
- preliminaries
- /bin/sh has to be *bash, not ash*
- umount /bin (if mounted)
- cp <cygnus>/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe
- configure
- works without changes
- make
- edit ./Makefile
- turn off optimization (-O in CFLAGS and CCFLAGS);
with optimization turned on, you may run into trouble with
random crashes - for example with large man pages
(due to a hint from Andy Piper)
- edit ./tmac/Makefile.sub
- create a new first line "SHELL=/usr/bin/ash"
(or whatever your "ash" is); this is necessay, because
"bash" can't handle a "for" loop with an empty list in
this Makefile
- run "make" as normal
- make install
- works without changes
- notes
- it is a bit crazy, but you really need both shells to build
this package - of course you could also change the Makefiles,oe
so they all work with one shell
- package availability
- on ftp.franken.de
- in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael
- as groff-1.10-win32-bin.tar.gz
- or groff-1.10-win32-bin.zip

- mh@mike.franken.de (Michael Hirmke)
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
and:
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
*less-321*
--------
- what is it?
- Less is a pager program similar to more (1), but allows backward
as well as forward movement within a file. Also, less does not
have to read the entire input file before starting. It is also
possible to start an editor at any time from this program.
- system
- Windows NT4 German / SP3
- preliminaries
- you first have to install *ncurses-4.1*
- replace all "iprintf" in "output.c" with a different,
but unique name, for example "less_iprintf"
- configure
- works without changes
- make
- works without changes
- make install
- works without changes
- notes
- works the same way for less-332
(according to noer@cygnus.com (Geoffrey Noer))
- package availability
- on ftp.franken.de
- in /pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael
- as less-321-win32-bin.tar.gz
- or less-321-win32-bin.zip
