       <para>If your port anchors its man tree somewhere other than
-	<makevar>PREFIX</makevar>, you can use the
-	<makevar>MANPREFIX</makevar> to set it.  Also, if only
-	manpages in certain sections go in a non-standard place, such
-	as some <literal>perl</literal> modules ports, you can set
-	individual man paths using
-	<makevar>MAN<replaceable>sect</replaceable>PREFIX</makevar>
-	(where <replaceable>sect</replaceable> is one of
-	<literal>1-9</literal>, <literal>L</literal> or
-	<literal>N</literal>).</para>
+	<makevar>PREFIX</makevar>, you can use
+	<makevar>MANDIRS</makevar> to specify those directories.  Note
+	that the files corresponding to manual pages should be placed in
+	<filename>pkg-plist</filename> along with the rest of the files.
+	The purpose of <makevar>MANDIRS</makevar> is to enable automatic
+	compression of manual pages, therefore the file names should be
+	suffixed with <filename>.gz</filename>.</para>
