You can find the default versions of most configuration files in
/usr/src/etc/. You can run mergemaster(8) to install them.

What you should really do for the future is keep all your configuration files
under revision control in a subdirectory of your $HOME, complete with an
install script. I wrote up my workflow in 2010. See:
