Brian's answer leads in the right direction. A wrapper for man could  
maybe reference info, or generate something on the fly based on some  
regexs:

(1) If it's an executable and its path contains "/bin"
(2), (3) or (9) If it's a header file or library (how to distinguish  
the two?)
(4) If its path is /dev
(5) If it's any other ascii file
(6) hm... would probably be caught by (1)
(7) probably would be caught by (4) or (5)
(8) if its path contains "/sbin"
(n) ?
(o) ?
(l) executables in "/opt/local" and "/usr/local"

That's where I'd start.
