What are they?  I can only find

src/sys/netinet/sctp_uio.h:ssize_t sctp_sendmsg

when word-searching for "sctp_sendmsg".  If these are
some new syscalls, then they need to be implemented
first, then added to libc, and then the manpages should
go to src/lib/libc/sys/.  If they are functional wrappers
around existing syscalls (sendmsg(2) etc.), then the
wrapping code and manpages should go into libc/net/,
and section should be 3 and not 2.  If they're something
else, well... tell me what they are supposed to be.  ;)

sctp(4) should go where tcp(4) currently lives, and
should preferably have the same structure.
