FWIW,
There was a long discussion about this in one of the lists a few days

actually very good. You might want to check out the archives of the
cvs-all mailing list for that. See the thread with a subject of:

One of the alternatives was to install the sysutils/etcmerge port which,
according to its author, works better than mergemaster in cases like
this -- without modifications to the src/etc source tree or extra hacks
in `make.conf'.
