Read the man page for xman.  The "Sections" menu is created by
examining a file called mandesc in the man directory.  You can provide
your own mandesc file (and a few magic symbolic links) to setup the
man pages any way you like.  For instance, here is the mandesc file
for xman on the ESV (which uses the R3000):

no default sections
A(1) User Commands
B(1) User Commands
C(2) System Calls
D(2) System Calls
E(3) Subroutines
F(3) Subroutines
G(4) Devices
H(4) Devices
I(5) File Formats
J(5) File Formats
L(6) Games
M(7) Miscellaneous
O(8) System Administration
P(8) System Administration
X(X) User X Clients
Y(D) Development Kit
