No, since installworld will change the ownership of the catpages
directories back to root.  You also need to modify src/etc/mtree/*.
Then you will probably find that installing packages changes the
ownership of the catpage directories back to root, unless the packages
are old.  People without local changes will probably find that installing
old packages changes the ownership of the catpage directories back to
man :-).  I'm used to installing packages clobbering my policy of
not having any catpage directories.
