I tried to do it some other way( I really didnot try , but just tried to make
sure it looked fine), the following way
==========
MAN_DIR=/usr/local/man
BLAFILES= .1.man .2.man .3.man
TARGET:=${BLAFILES:.%.bla=$(MAN_DIR)/man%}

all:   $(TARGET)

$(MAN_DIR)/man% : .%.man
  @cp $< $@/$<
===========

  Here the copy rule will be executed once TARGET is being made from all. Just
give it a try, and let me know if it works. And since the dependency is on the
man files, it will be executed everytime the man file changes. Do let me know
if it works.
