I transcribed the NTP documentation from HTML into mdoc (the preferred
roff package for BSD manual pages) and maintain the mdoc version of the
documentation for the FreeBSD project.
The transcription was torture, but maintenance thus far hasn't been much
of a problem.
The task you're faced with is smaller (because you don't have as much to
transcribe), but harder (because the source documentation is written as
a book, not a manual page). :-)
Your efforts would be appreciated. I'd certainly include the pages in
the FreeBSD ports (and packages) for Exim if they looked something like
the sendmail(8) manual page.
