According to the documentation for ultrix V4.0, you may indeed specify an
alternate path (to replace the default /usr/man) for the man page top
directory using the -P option.  Alas, as far as I can tell, the -P option
does not accept more than one directory name, so you cannot say
man -P /usr/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/private/man ...
as you do in System V derived systems.
