Looks like docbook2html is a jade wrapper.
I am using docbook for several years just fine on FreeBSD.

I have made a little script to produce html from docbook. Basically, the
command is:
jade -t sgml -d <stylesheet> <docbook file>
and to convert docbook to pdf, the commands are:
jade -t tex -d <stylesheet> <docbook file>
pdfjadetex <generated tex file>
Hope that helps!
