There's a script called 9man (or man9 if you want history expansion to work) that looks up plan 9 man pages. It also adds some troff magic to make the pages render better, at least under FreeBSD. I haven't ported over the stuff I added to my version of the Plan 9 port yet, but it brings in lookman and friends, too. Probably not worth the effort.
