Have you seen 'etcupdate diff'?  With pkgbase I'm hopeful we will
have a similar 'pkg confdiff' type functionality (for ports as well as
base) where packages keep stock config files around while installed
that existing ones can be compared against (and that can be used for
3 way merges during upgrades similar to what etcupdate does).

(etcupdate diff is explicitly designed due to experience in sysadmin
mode and etcupdate in general is designed with the goal of rolling
out new snapshots to fleets of machines requiring minimal user
intervention)
