Normally i use pkgsrc for openssh and i'll always maintain copies
of config files which i use in my own dir, like /etc/rc.d/sshd 
and ssh_config etc which i modified myself.
After updating by pkgsrc i copy these files again to their proper
place and ... voila. 
Basically, i do the same for postfix.
But i can see why you do it that way, many times i forgot to backup
my configs changes etc and ended up with the 'ACK' feeling 
and overwritten stuff by 
new installed pkgsrc :-)
Bye,
