Unfortunately it is possible.

[laptop:~] weyer_l% more ~/.cshrc
source /sw/bin/init.csh

And /sw/bin/init.csh contains the lines

if ( $?MANPATH) then
setenv MANPATH /sw/share/man:/sw/man:${MANPATH}:/usr/X11R6/man
else
setenv MANPATH /sw/share/man:/sw/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man
endif

So, if it is really sourced, the MANPATH will contain /sw/share/man.
If it doesn't, there remain two possibilities:

1. Your "source /sw/bin/init.csh" is not executed at all. This will happen if you have a ~/.tcshrc file that does not explicitly source ~/.cshrc.

2. You have some other shell startup script that runs after ~/.cshrc and destroys the MANPATH.

Other suggestions?

Which one of these two possibilities is realized on your system cannot be guessed from the distance. You will have to look for yourself.

And now, provoked by your e-mail address:
<standard rant> Apple had a wunderful default configuration for tcsh in MacOSX pre-10.2. In 10.2, the default configuration is unusable, so everybody has to create their own configuration, and the result is a chaotic mess. Stupid Apple. </rant>
