Third party application shouldn't actually install in /usr/local as /usr belongs to the OS, not external stuff according to the SVR4 standard. I know sunfreeware.com releases packages that do so but they are breaking Solaris rules.
Third party applications should install in /opt/<app_name> or similar, /var/opt/<app name> and /etc/opt/<app name>.

SCROLLKEEPER.CONF(5)                                            File Formats Manual                                           SCROLLKEEPER.CONF(5)

NAME
scrollkeeper.conf - ScrollKeeper configuration file SYNOPSIS
System-wide configuration of ScrollKeeper DESCRIPTION
The system-wide scrollkeeper.conf file is typically installed at /etc/scrollkeeper.conf. It stores the default OMF paths which are searched by scrollkeeper-update (8) to update the ScrollKeeper documentation catalog. The paths are held by the OMF_DIR variable which is assigned to a colon (:) delimited list of paths. Comment lines begin with the (#) character. EXAMPLE
A typical scrollkeeper.conf file will look like: # Comment OMF_DIR=/usr/share/omf:/usr/local/share/omf:/opt/gnome/share/omf:/opt/gnome-2.0/share/omf:/opt/kde/omf NOTES
Any user on the system is able to use the scrollkeeper-update (8) command to generate a ScrollKeeper database at any path that the user has write permission to. The user can over-ride the system default OMF_DIR path variable by setting a shell variable of the same name, OMF_DIR. In this way, a user can create a document catalog which contains a superset of the system documentation, or a completely indepen- dent set of documents which the user may be interested in. Note that most applications will register its documentation at install time, and unregister it at uninstall time. Thus, a user who keeps their own personal ScrollKeeper database may need to periodically run scrollkeeper-update (8) manually (or with cron) to keep their data- base up-to-date. AUTHOR
