Though if you use them you may end up tripping over bugs like 6483933:

  $ MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/dt/man
  $ time dtsearchpath > /dev/null

  real    0m0.031s
  user    0m0.003s
  sys     0m0.007s
  $ MANPATH=/usr/man,1:/usr/dt/man
  $ time dtsearchpath > /dev/null
  TT_ERR_DBAVAIL  A required database is not available. The condition may
  be temporary, trying again later may work.

  real    8m53.298s
  user    0m0.005s
  sys     0m0.013s

Mmm, almost 9 minutes wasted at login.  Looking at the process shows:

  $ truss -p `pgrep dtsearchpath`
  stat64("/net/1/usr/dt/man", 0x080474E0) (sleeping...)
