That was very valuable feedback.

Thanks to that I focused on the first CD. The missing man pages AFAICT 
come from

     /System/Installation/Packages/BSD.pkg

I discovered it by trial and error. Inside BSD.pkg there's a file 
called Archive.pax.gz that looks like the one with the packed archives. 
To inspect its contents:

     $ gunzip Archive.pax.gz
     $ pax -vf Archive.pax

I saw missing man pages there, so I went ahead and double-clicked the 
package. I had done some software updates here, I hope I have not 
broken the system.

Now man perror works, and the count under man3 is greater than the one 
torhildr reported:

     fxn at conway:/usr/share/man/man3% ls | wc -l
         3988

which in principle is OK, because looks like I have additional dev 
packages installed.

I would like to understand why those pages were not there, if I figure 
it out I'll write again.

Thank you all for your help!!!
