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.
