I have these:
/usr/bin/man
man find
\_ sh -c (cd /usr/share/man && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/gunzip -c '/usr/share/man && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/gunzip -c '/usr/share/man/man1/find.1.gz'; echo; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -isr)
\_ sh -c (cd /usr/share/man && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/gunzip -c '/usr/share/man/man1/find.1.gz'; echo; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -isr)
\_ /bin/sh /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc
| \_ groff -mtty-char -Tlatin1 -P-c -mandoc
| \_ grotty -c
\_ /usr/bin/less -isr
So it looks like you need sh, man, gunzip, gtbl, nroff, less, and groff.
For many man pages you also need bzip2.
My man RPM includes these binaries:
/usr/bin/apropos
/usr/bin/man
/usr/bin/man2html
/usr/bin/manpath
/usr/bin/whatis
/usr/sbin/makewhatis
There's probably a way to get a list of prerequisites from rpm, but I'm not
enough of a guru to know it.

Two atoms are walking along. Suddenly, one stops. The other says,
"What's wrong?" "I've lost an electron." "Are you sure?" "I'm positive!"
