Just for the record, the spec isn't in the source distribution tarball.
The FreeBSD port pulls down the additional tarball exim-texinfo-x.yz and
builds and installs info files from the texinfo source.

For Juha's benefit, the FreeBSD port for Exim has never installed manual
pages. If the objection to info files is simply that the info(1)
interface sucks, grab another info(1) browser, e.g.

    pinfo        ncurses        ports/misc/pinfo
    tkinfo        X11/Tk        ports/misc/tkinfo
