I don't have a 1.6, but I tested it on 1.6.2.
Build failed with (BSD) make:
Making groff_mom.n from groff_mom.man
pdfroff
make: exec(pdfroff) failed (No such file or directory)
*** Error code 1

With GNU make I got a bit further:
export GROFF_COMMAND_PREFIX; GROFF_COMMAND_PREFIX=''; export GROFF_BIN_DIR; 
GROFF_BIN_DIR=/home/wiz/groff-1.19.2.pre-20050527/src/roff/groff; export

pdfroff.log as suggested attached to this mail.
