bunzip2 -c MANIFEST.bz2 | less

would work. You could probably put

#!/bin/sh
bunzip2 -c "$@" | less

in /usr/bin/bzless (or something like that) if you don't want to type
that in all the time. Some packages of less probably come with the
bzless script.

There's no bzip2, so you can only read bz2 files. The busybox bunzip2
should uncompress every ordinary bz2, though.
