You can use defadvice (with `around' advice) on hyperspec-lookup to
let-bind browse-url-browser-function for the duration of that function.

PS: Another attack vector is to globally set browse-url-browser-function
to a function that either invokes emacs-23m or firefox depending on
the URL.  Some Emacs maintainer I know might even be willing to accept
patches to provide such a feature more generally, e.g. via
a configuration variable that lists URL patterns that should use
emacs-w3m.
