The existing FreeBSD port stores it's config files under /usr/local/etc
which generally seems to be the 'done thing' (and I thought similarly on
OpenBSD?) - you should be careful that you don't end up with confusion
over this as I'd imagine using the port has been the main way people have
gotten it working so far, perhaps a dialog with the maintainer would be
useful so you're all singing from the same prayer book.
