Yes, right now, pkgng uses the .pkgconf suffix to know that it is a
configuration file. But now, we have a new format for the package
manifest so _maybe_ (it has to be discussed with bapt) we can add an
attribute to a file entry saying "I am a sample of a conf file". The
hardest part for that would be to detect in the ports tree if we are
using pkgng or the legacy pkg_install, and, depending on that, to
generate the appropriate entry in the manifest / plist.
