rS286651: Describe that bcopy(3) is deprecated and marked as LEGACY in
Summary

This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001): use
memcpy(3) or memmove(3) in new programs. Note that the first two
arguments are interchanged for memcpy(3) and memmove(3.) POSIX.1-2008
removes the specification of bcopy.()

We shall update the bcopy(3) manpage.

This looks OK.
In addition, it would not hurt to run the textproc/igor port to verify that your man page changes are OK.
