Sorry, my patch only fixes how manpager.vim works on systems that
set $MAN_PN, i.e. _some_ Linuxes.
On OpenBSD I'm using this script instead of the MANPAGER thing:
#! /bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
if [ x"$real_man" = x ]; then
export real_man=$(PATH=/bin:/usr/bin which man)
fmt=$("$real_man" -w "$@" | head -1)
fmt=${fmt##*/}
fmt=${fmt%.Z}
fmt=${fmt%.gz}
export MAN_PN="${fmt%.*}(${fmt##*.})"
export MANPAGER='vim -M +MANPAGER'
fi
exec "$real_man" "$@"
I named this "man" and put it in ~/bin (i.e. a directory in $PATH
that comes before /usr/bin where the real "man" lives). Maybe this can
also work for you on Mac.

I'm afraid I can't parse what you're saying here. Does something
like ":Man ls" work for you (without MANPAGER and without my patch)?
