or
MAKE_ARGS= -EMANPREFIX
MAKE_ENV= MANPREFIX=/man
I tested this with:
[crees@zeus]~% cat Makefile
HELLO= "hello, world"
all:
@echo ${HELLO}
[crees@zeus]~% make
hello, world
[crees@zeus]~% env HELLO=hello make
hello, world
[crees@zeus]~% env HELLO=hello make -EHELLO
hello
[crees@zeus]~%
Try it out!
Though I still think the usual response is to use REINPLACE_CMD on the Makefile.

NB gmake doesn't have the -E flag, but the -e flag sets environment
precedence on all variables. Sounds risky!
