Yes, that's possible. Download the "Many HTML files"-version of the PHP
documentation from http://www.php.net/download-docs.php

After extracting it somewhere, go to "Preferences" -> "PHP" -> "PHP
Manual" and add a "New" entry. Select "Local Directory" and enter the
path where you have extracted the files to. Make sure that "File
Extension" is set to "html".

After marking the new entry as the "Default", the "Open PHP
manual"-action should open the appropriate local html-file.

HTH,
