This is indeed correct.  To quote the FHS, version 2.0:

  Manual pages for commands and data under /usr/local are stored in
  /usr/local/man.  Manual pages for X11R6 are stored in /usr/X11R6/man.
  It follows that all manual page hierarchies in the system should have
  the same structure as /usr/share/man.  Empty directories may be omitted
  from a manual page hierarchy.  For example, if /usr/local/man has no
  manual pages in section 4 (Devices), then /usr/local/man/man4 may be
  omitted.
