Hmm, by accident I had to look a little deeper into this. In my setup
DESTDIR is empty. The rest of the variables are defined like this
MANPATH = /tools/X11R6/man
MANSOURCEPATH = $(MANPATH)/man
MANDIR = $(MANSOURCEPATH)$(MANSUFFIX)
And later on in the fvwm-specific section, MANPATH is overridden.
MANPATH = /my/home/fvwm-2.0.43/man
which I specified in the Fvwm.tmpl.
And even later you find this:
install.man:: fvwm2.man
_at_if [ -d $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR) ]; then set +x; \
else (set -x; $(MKDIRHIER) $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)); fi
$(INSTALL) $(INSTALLFLAGS) $(INSTMANFLAGS) fvwm2.man
$(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)
/fvwm2.$(MANSUFFIX)
As DESTDIR is empty, it installes it exactly where I wanted.
This is X11R6.

Hmm, I cannot really say this, as I don't know enough of it. I just know
how it works
at our site with R6.

No answer to this one, too. I don't know if it is legal to rely on the
above setup,
which happens to be at our site. All I can say, it works for me and
probably for others :-)
Maybe the R4 imake setup was different and doesn't work with current
fvwm?

I think it uses MANPATH, because it wants to preserve a specific
directory structure
within the MANPATH, but I might be wrong.
Any Imake.conf setup gurus around to give us a definite answer? Should
we switch
to autoconf? :-)
