I'm running LinuxMint Debian.  It splits groff into two packages:

  groff-base -- minimal install; sufficient to format manpages
  groff      -- everything else from a groff distribution

Currently installed version is 1.22.2; it has both manpages installed:

  $ man -w gropdf pdfmom
  /usr/share/man/man1/gropdf.1.gz
  /usr/share/man/man1/pdfmom.1.gz

So ... seems like Debian got it right; if Gentoo is missing these, then
it would seem to be a Gentoo bug.
