Yes, you can include entities inside other entities.

There are two options, you can continue to use system identifiers with
relative paths, or you can switch to public identifiers and use the
catalog for indirection.

In your instance:

<!doctype book PUBLIC "-//Davenport//DTD DocBook V3.0//EN" [
 <!entity manpages PUBLIC "-//ThomasLockhart//TEXT Manpages//EN">
]>

In your catalog:

PUBLIC "-//ThomasLockhart//TEXT Manpages//EN" "man/mangpages.sgml"

The advantage of the catalog is that it allows you to change the
replacement text w/o editing any (or all) of your instances. But
it's not clear from your example that this would be a very big
win.
