We don't have any automated way with pkgsrc for updating system /etc files
(other than /etc/shells and creating users and groups). One of the
often-mentioned strengths or goals of pkgsrc is that it doesn't touch /etc
too much.

Maybe manually edit your man.conf's _default entry to pre-pend
/usr/pkg/xorg/man/ (or the path you need) so it will look there first.
Maybe like:

_default /usr/pkg/xorg/man/ /usr/share/man/ /usr/pkg/man/ /usr/local/man/
