some of the .ms are updated ...  here are the most recent.
--rw-rw-r-- M 764 glenda sys  18522 Jun 16  2011 port.ms
--rw-rw-r-- M 764 glenda sys  30524 Oct 13  2011 compiler.ms
--rw-rw-r-- M 764 glenda sys  37928 Jan  6 13:52 comp.ms
--rw-rw-r-- M 764 glenda sys  31666 Jan 21 20:34 asm.ms

there's a mkfile in /sys/doc which should update all the ps.

groff probablly won't do a good job unless you fix the fonts.
