Recent autotools-based package doc directories default to ${name}-$ 
{version} (see libogg and libvorbis).
Also, I love to have maximum informations about my installed packages  
in the documentation directory and version _is_ an important  
information.
Last, you do can have multiple versions of the same package, see  
automake and all, including version in docdir for only a few packages  
seems quite awkward and inconsistent to me.

You cannot do a symlink, but you can always do `see /opt/local/share/ 
doc/p7zip*/README`.
