I would do so. This way the documentation nicly intergrates into dwww.
Or if you mean "programs which needs a textterminal", here is an example:

?package(gnuplot):\
  needs="text"\
  section="Apps/Math"\
  title="Gnuplot"\
  longtitle="Gnuplot - interactive plotting program"\
  description=\
  "\
   A command-line driven interactive plotting program.\
   Package for making 2D and 3D graphs from data and functions.\
  "

Take a look at /usr/doc/menu. The documentation is very good.
