Yes, the tarball contains the .man files which will be "sed" into .3 files. The makefile is designed to abort if one tries to generate a tarball without running xmlto, so as not to distribute a tarball without the man pages. One side-effect for developers who work without xmlto is that they cannot run distcheck on a regular basis as a quality assurance measure as the makefile is designed to abort to prevent the creation of man-pageless tarballs.
