Have you looked at Pandoc (http://pandoc.org/)? It will definitely read HTML and write groff (the format that man pages use). I'd recommend using Pandoc to convert your HTML to Markdown and using that as your source - generating other formats from that. You might need to do quite a lot of manual clean-up of the Markdown files though. But you'd only need to do it once.
