You can do it with helptags, if you write some script.

* move your help file to same YOURFILE.txt
* apply helptags
* move YOURFILE.txt back to YOURFILE.MAN
* change the resulting <tags> file, using sed: sed -e
's/\.txt/\.MAN/' tags

You could also do the substitute with vim itself if you'd prefer.
