Alas, I see:

     ...
     The historical MANPATH variable is not included in POSIX because no 
attempt is
     made to specify naming conventions for reference page files, nor even to 
mandate
     that they are files at all.

     MANPATH=/usr/man/%L:/usr/lpp/com.rocketsoftward/man

You have that ${ROCKET_FS}/envs/whatever/share/man
