I was going to suggest putting doc/tmac/tmac.andoc in /usr/lib/tmac/.
;-)  But I see you tried installing the files into /usr/share/tmac,
with problems resulting:

Agreed, not found.  A simple version of this might be:
	s;^['\.]\\".*;;
	s;^\(['\.]\)[ 	][ 	]*;\1;

Instead of installing <subject>.N in /usr/local/man/manN/<subject>.N,
try installing <subject>.lstN into /usr/local/man/catN/<subject>.N.
Unless you have some specific processing you want to do, this will give
you the already-processed manual entries.
