I have been using AquaLess [http://aqualess.sourceforge.net/]

which is constrained to the terminal window. AquaLess opens a separate 
window for each text, so you can keep working in the terminal while you 
read."

If you set the PAGER environment variable to /path/to/AquaLess then man 
will open each document in a new AquaLess window.

A caveat: I set AquaLess to be the default PAGER, which causes problems 
when I don't have a GUI.  So when I log in via ssh, I have to remember to 
reset the PAGER to less.

Hope this helps,
