You mean the "dir" file?  I think that is pretty self-explanatory.
Just become root and edit the file /usr/local/info/dir.

Say, you installed the package "superjunk", and it created files
"superjunk.info", "superjunk.info-1", "superjunk.info-2" in
/usr/local/info.  Then, add an entry

* Superjunk: (superjunk).       The Superjunk system.

in /usr/local/info/dir.  Voila!
