This sends an html-formatted man page directly to Calibre, where you can then convert to ePub. (I don't know if this works with all versions of man, but at least on Ubuntu 11.10 it does).
interesting, as i never knew there was an '--html' option... will have to try this (it obviously will *not* work under OS X)
