groff came into NetBSD (of which, FreeBSD 1.0 incorporated a
pre-release NetBSD 0.8 tarball), with the 386bsd + patchkit initial
import. Sun Mar 21 09:45:37 1993 UTC, by cgd. It was upgraded to
groff release 1.08 about 4 months later, by jtc.

i am confident groff was part of (Free)BSD even before it was
released. That is, i have used groff with FreeBSD 4.9 (?) base
systems onwards, and i know from the CSRG history that they worked
to get there. (It is not part of the repo, though, it is only
deduced. I still don't have the McKusick CD's, shame on me.)
