I don't think so, because some systems come with pre-processed man pages
which their `man` command finds in directories like /usr/man/cat1 or
/usr/man/sman1. That's simply to speed things up and doesn't imply that
the troff preprocessors aren't also installed, but it certainly seems
possible that they could be missing on such systems.
