I am aware of that :)

Correct, what basically need to be automated is

$ etckeeper pre-install
$ pkg_add a-package another-package ...
$ etckeeper post-install

Whats important is that the pre-install command is run before any package
is installed and the post-install command run after all packages have been 
installed.  Using a shell script wrapper around pkg_add would work fine.

But note that I didn't change the version but removed the PKGREVISION.
