This is already being discussed[1] in opensolaris-code with a similar proposal. However note that it isn't just stuff in $PATH that has interesting man pages, config files libraries etc need to be found too so a purely based on $PATH use of $MANPATH may not be sufficient. Please continue this subthread on opensolaris-code.
