You can override mtree entries in /etc/mtree/special.local.  I have e.g.:
./etc/named.conf		type=link mode=0644
./etc/namedb			type=link mode=0755

because I run named(8) chrooted and replaced the above file/dir by symlinks
into /var/chroot/named/.

It's a workaround rather than a solution, but it's provided by NetBSD. :-)
