I tend to make /usr/pkg/etc/ a symlink to /etc/pkg.
It keeps my configs under one dir (/etc/) which is always mounted
(well, as often as /etc, so when the OS is in a useful state).

And if you teach make and rc.conf to look in /etc/pkg/rc.d/, then
you don't really CARE if /usr/pkg is mounted when the order is
chosen.

(also, I *presume* that /usr and /usr/local and /usr/pkg might be on
a shared resource (NFS server).  Long habit.  Per machien configs go
in /etc.  sudoers is about the only config that's multi-machine aware.)
