I suggest you make the version generation automatic or just remove it altogether.

qlist -e portage | grep -e "\.gz$" | xargs gzcat | grep 2.0.51

i dont really see the point ... they're kind of helpful in that they
indicate when the manpage was last updated

As you can see from the diff, many of the manpages were updated but still had the old version strings in there. I have no problem with this scheme as long as you remember to update the versions when changing the manual pages. A cvs header tag would any way be more appropriate for checking when the page was last updated.
