It does accept $PAGER as a definition of what tool to use for the purpose, though that wasn't documented in the apropos(1) man page. I just added it. Due to evidently historical reasons (as I understand it), interestingly the man(1) code handles this rather differently than apropos(1) does, with more considerations (about checking and sanitizing input), and a different call to run the pager.
