That took me some reading but after that and after inspecting
the suggested path's available sections this is what I appended for Tcl/Tk:

_whatdb         /usr/local/lib/tcl8.5/man/whatis.db
_whatdb         /usr/local/lib/tk8.5/man/whatis.db
_default        /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/
1               /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/man1
3               /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/man3
n               /usr/local/lib/{tcl,tk}8.5/man/mann

And this for JDK:

_whatdb         /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man/whatis.db
_default        /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man/
1               /usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/man/man1

That is just a suggestion. I still contemplate if I want the _default lines...
