compilation of groff is more or less without problem (a minor one with the accompaning gxditview, as I recall) from the tarball available at the groff home page, too.

Use the following commands to completely replace the installed groff in OSX:

        ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man CXX=g++2
        make
        sudo make install

The "CXX=g++2" part is necessary at least on OSX 10.2.x, and may be necessary in 10.3 and later. Omitting it results in runtime formatting errors, due to a bug in the gcc3 compiler.

Some OSX security updates replace groff, so it's a good idea to keep it around to re-install after a routine system update.
