My emacs uses its internal viewer doc view, and yet I see this in my
predefined (I didn’t touch it myself) mailcap-user-mime-data:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  ("pdf"
   (viewer . "okular '%s'")
   (type . "application/pdf")
   (test "test" "\"$DISPLAY\"" "!=" "\"\"")
   ("nametemplate" . "%s.pdf"))
#+END_SRC

Also mine is huge, wouldn’t what you proposed erase it all? Wouldn’t
`add-to-list' be more appropriated?

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  (add-to-list 'mailcap-user-mime-data
               '((type . "application/pdf")
                 (viewer . "evince %s")))
#+END_SRC
