Seems to work for me:
julia> @doc "Open readme of package in browser."->
function Pkgreadme(package)
file = Pkg.dir(package) * "/" * "README.md"
isfile(file) && `x-www-browser $(file)`
end
Pkgreadme (generic function with 1 method)
julia> Pkgreadme("FEM")
`x-www-browser /home/kristoffer/.julia/v0.4/FEM/README.md`
0.4.0-dev+4179
