I'm working on this right now - I think I have a workable way, where we just use the "classic" docs system to build the man pages and HTML sources for each version on RTD, and then specify those HTML files as "extra" to Sphinx, so it just copies them over in the build and we can refer to them with local links (and their internal relative links work). Hopefully I can have a demo in the next couple of days.
