Surely not config files?  They are usually host-specific, and should go
in etc (/usr/pkg/etc).

BTW, hier(7) does not document the convention that the whole of /usr
(except for /usr/{local,pkg}/etc) should be shareable across multiple
machines of the same architecture via read-only mounts, and that
/usr{/local,/pkg,}/share should be shareable across multiple machines of
different architectures via read-only mounts.
