The proper thing to do is to put /var/qmail/bin in PATH, then MANPATH
automatically gets modified to include /var/qmail/man.  No need to
fiddle with the man conf file.

Make sure though that the formatted pages do not get installed ( in
/var/qmail/man/cat?).  Otherwise nonroot users will not be able to
read the man pages after a while.

Setting the MANPATH should work under RH 6.*---it was not working on
earlier versions.   Adam tells me that the whole man pages business
does not work under Debian at all.
