Having just gone through this discovery process myself....

Formatted man pages need to be appended to the appropriate manX file
and must begin with a header line consisting of a sharp (#) followed by
a comma delimited list of names the page is to be known by.  When
man(1) is run, it will create an index file of the form ._manX .  Once
this is done, all will proceed smoothly.
