Yes, exactly. Here's the version of mmroff(1) man page from Git HEAD.
mmroff(1) General Commands Manual mmroff(1)
Name
mmroff - cross‐referencing front end for GNU roff mm macro package
Synopsis
mmroff [-x] groff‐argument ...
mmroff --help
mmroff --version
Description
mmroff is a simple wrapper for groff, used to expand cross
references in mm; see groff_mm(7). It runs groff with the -mm
option twice, first with -z and -rRef=1 to collect cross references
and update the cross‐reference file, and then again to produce the
document. It also handles the inclusion of PostScript images with
the PIC macro. Documents that do not use these features of groff mm
(the INITR, SETR, GETHN, GETPN, GETR, GETST, and PIC macros) do not
require mmroff.
Options
--help displays a usage message, while --version shows version
information; both exit afterward.
-x Create or update the cross‐reference file and exit.
Authors
mmroff was written by Jörgen Hägg of Lund, Sweden.

(Actually that's from my private branch but there have been no changes
to the man page relative to master.)
But I see now that this page should also be mentioning the indexing
macros!
groff mm has a lot of loose threads... :(

'Salright--with any luck you won't have to.
