This includes both a start-xmonad and an xmonad-session script. The former will check for a config file or copy a config file over. The latter will call a user's .xsession and then start start-xmonad. There are also .desktop files for both, and both should be installed in the correct location. Let me know if this works for you.
I did not ttest the xsession stuff, but with my patch it works: http://till.fedorapeople.org/files/xmonad_7-8.spec.diff I wrote a simple config that is stored in /etc/skel/.xmonad/xmonad.hs, that opens the manpage using xterm.
Currently, the default config is the default config provided by upstream. Should we convince upstream to have it load the manpage on startup?
If this can be done easily within xmonad, why not. But I guess if xmonad would open the manpage by default, there would be no easy way to stop it doing this using a xmonad.hs currently.
