Looking at http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html , it seams highly unlikely that such a syntax exists IMHO. I myself would just install it to share/man/man? since that is the path specified in the FHS [1]. setup.py being a python program, you could just as well check for the existence or /use/share/man and /usr/man.
