short answer:  edit /etc/manpath.config.
add "MANDATORY_MANPATH       /usr/X11R6/man"
and "MANPATH_MAP     /usr/X11R6/bin          /usr/X11R6/man"


longer answer:

per user solution:

if you are using csh:
setenv MANPATH /usr/local/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/share/man

if you are using sh or bash
MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/share/man


system-wide solution:
either alter everyone's dotfiles and the system default dotfiles or

edit /etc/manpath.config  as indicated above.
