The manpage-extractor, which extracts the manual pages from packages is
written with the supposition that you have a mirror in the local filesystem.
It could be modified (or a new script could be written) to download the
packages from an external mirror, but that is not currently an option.
On the other hand, you don't need a mirror with all the architectures, one
architecture (i386?) is sufficient to generate all the content. You will miss
manpages that might be architecture-specific but that is not a big deal IMHO.
