I also have a solution I use. Mine opens the hyperspec in a new window
if w3m has no buffers open, otherwise it uses the already existing w3m
buffer and window. I explicitly turn pop-up-frames OFF. Combine that
with the previous suggestions, and you should be closer to the
"ideal".

(require 'w3m)

(defun w3m-browse-url-other-window (url &optional newwin) 
  (interactive
   (browse-url-interactive-arg "w3m URL: "))
  (let ((pop-up-frames nil))
    (switch-to-buffer-other-window 
     (w3m-get-buffer-create "*w3m*"))
    (w3m-browse-url url)))


;; The ftp stuff is irrelevant for this discussion. I left it in anyhow.
(setq browse-url-browser-function 
	(list (cons "^ftp:/.*"  (lambda (url &optional nf) 
				    (call-interactively #'find-file-at-point url)))
              (cons "."  #'w3m-browse-url-other-window)))
