Hi,

that's no solution for you, but just FYI: my path contains only /usr/ 
local/teTeX, not /usr/local/teTeX/bin, manpath also reports /usr/ 
local/teTeX/man - but man finds the correct man page files.
I did a clean install of Tiger, and reinstalled teTeX over the old  
installation (it's not on the OS partition), so I guess it's not  
directly Tiger-related?
Stupid question: are your man pages in the correct loacation (e.g., / 
usr/local/teTeX/man/man1/latex.1)?
