The issue is caused by grass76 bug in retrieving MANPATH directly by calling `manpath` command in submodule. This should be probably fixed in next GRASS release (fully compatible with python3).
As a workaround it should be enough to set environment variable
`export MANPATH=/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man` in QGIS startup script or environment.
The bug is not present in unofficial all-in-one MacOS packages https://lutraconsulting.github.io/qgis-mac-packager/ as the workaround was applied in https://github.com/lutraconsulting/qgis-mac-packager/issues/50

I'm not sure what your workaround is, I couldn't find anything in that mac packager issue. I think I'll try patching my bundled grass74 to set the MANPATH. I won't be able to test it - I don't have macOS Mojave, and I don't have this problem on Sierra.
