With the advent of the `manpath` utility, this only works when MANPATH is empty.
But the next line always works:

| $ export MANPATH=:/usr/share/man/man-pages-freebsd

Now (contrary to what `man manpath` says :)

| $ manpath
| manpath: warning: $MANPATH set, prepending /etc/man_db.conf
| /usr/share/man:/usr/share/man/man-pages-freebsd

manpath prepended man_db.conf because ':' was at the front of MANPATH. If ':'
had been at the end, manpath would have appended man_db.conf. If you want
man_db.conf somewhere in the middle, put a pair of colons where you want it to
go.

No aliases needed if you set the MANPATH.
