No. They use the standard format. If they didn't send the manuals out
in already nroffed mode, you would be flaming them left and right about
the on-line manual pages requireing the text processing subset.
Another thing is that the source code for the manual pages (i.e. the nroff
stuff) probably would require larger licensing fees.

This is the typical mechanism for binary installations on most systems
today (although they sometimes compress/pack the nroffed output to save
disk space).
