I don't know FHS, but what I do for the FPC *BSD ports:

$PREFIX/share is for anything not OS/architecture dependant. So also
the docs should be there, examples etc. This is a general Unix convention
btw, not just BSD.

Under BSD I create $PREFIX/share/fpc/src/ and then put the entire
FIXES_1_0_0 tree there.

Then doc in  $PREFIX/share/fpc/doc
examples in $PREFIX/share/fpc/examples etc.

Does FHS still stuff doc in $PREFIX/doc ? If not, then it probably belongs
in share/ too under Linux.

$PREFIX= /usr when the package is in the base systems (IOW it is always
installed, things like gcc)
$PREFIX=/usr/local under FreeBSD and OpenBSD, (and NetBSD if not installed
via NetBSD's own installation system, NetBSD package systems uses /usr/pkg)


The Slackware distro is also pretty close to this layout.
