Are you certain that /etc/manpath.config doesn't just still
have /usr/X11R6/man configured (as well as /usr/local/man)? Admittedly
the kde issue is a mystery, assuming its manpages are installed
in /usr/local/man. This system has the following:

OPTIONAL_MANPATH	/usr/local/man
# (disabled by xorg-libraries port) OPTIONAL_MANPATH	/usr/X11R6/man

MANPATH_MAP	/usr/local/bin		/usr/local/man
# (disabled by xorg-libraries port) MANPATH_MAP	/usr/X11R6/bin	/usr/X11R6/man


Is the whatis file being updated? Check the timestamp:

# ls -l /usr/local/man/whatis
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  273178 Sep 11 04:22 /usr/local/man/whatis
