It will, but only if those subdirectories are called catN or manN, where 
N is a single digit.  (On Unix, catN include formatted man pages and manN 
unformatted ones--those which need to be run through troff or Groff.)
Since all man pages distributed with DJGPP packages should be formatted, 
so that users won't need to install Groff just to browse the docs, the 
best way is to put them inside %DJDIR%/share/man/cat1.  The man clone 
from v2apps/man12b.zip looks inside catN directories first, so it finds 
files in there faster; otherwise man1 is also okay (but on UNix, it 
probably wouldn't).
