   To the best of my knowledge, it [apropos or man -k] only checks the
   apropos file in the first directory.  Clearly a lose.

Not so; the man we have in /usr/ucb checks all directories in MANPATH:

snorkelwacker% echo $MANPATH
/mit/watchmaker/man:/usr/sipb/man:/mit/consult/man:/usr/man:/mit/games/man:/mit/StaffTools/man
snorkelwacker% man -k xscreensaver 
xscreensaver (SIPB)     - blanks and/or locks display
xscreensaver (SIPB)     - blanks display
