We have a similar setup with AUCTeX, preview-latex, and RefTeX.  You can
see that in action at <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/>.

I set this up by patching gendocs.sh (see attachment; not sure if this
will apply cleanly) and using a htmlxref.cnf file for managing the cross
references.

It would be nice if gendocs.sh would support a setup with multiple
manuals in one `manual' directory by default.
