I have a ping manpage.

Possibly:
[11:21 AM]wwong man8 $ equery belongs ping.8.bz2
[ Searching for file(s) ping.8.bz2 in *... ]
net-misc/iputils-20070202 (/usr/share/man/man8/ping.8.bz2)
[11:21 AM]wwong man8 $ equery uses iputils
[ Searching for packages matching iputils... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ]
[ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for net-misc/iputils-20070202 ]
U I
+ + doc : Adds extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc)
- - ipv6 : Adds support for IP version 6
- - static : !!do not set this during bootstrap!! Causes binaries to be statically linked instead of dynamically
And, looking at the ebuild,
if use doc && type -p docbook2html ; then
emake -j1 html man || die
fi
So, yeah.
