If you are making an ikiwiki package for pkgsrc, then you should use the 
"vendor" directories.  "site" directories are for any local modules that 
are not managed by pkgsrc.

All man pages are installed under lib/perl5/*_perl/man and section 1 man 
pages are automatically symlinked into ${LOCALBASE} upon package 
installation, provided you are using perl5/module.mk.

I'm not sure I understand your question.  Can you elaborate?
