Here's a little sequence of commands which I use to do this. It's not
specific to Mac OS X, and should work on any *nix:

apropos a > cmds1.txt
apropos e >> cmds1.txt
apropos i >> cmds1.txt
apropos o >> cmds1.txt
apropos u >> cmds1.txt
sort -f cmds1.txt > cmds2.txt
uniq cmds2.txt > cmds.txt

At this point you'll have the cmds.txt file containing a nice, sorted
list of all commands, routines and so on which have manpages.
