FYI, I'm using the following trick to set MANPATH the way I want :
setenv () { eval $1=\"\$2\" export $1; }
unsetenv () { unset "$@"; }
append () { eval "case :\$$1: in *:\$2:*) ;; *) $1=\"\${$1:+\$$1\${2:+:}}\$2\";; esac"; }
xsetenv () { [ -d "$2" ] && setenv "$@"; }
xappend () { [ -d "$2" ] && append "$@"; }
xsetenv OPTDIR /usr/local
xsetenv MYDIR $HOME/local
unsetenv MANPATH
setenv MANPATH $(manpath -q)
xappend MANPATH $OPTDIR/man
xprepend MANPATH $MYDIR/share/man
