This is sort of similar to the discussion on score files we had a
week or two ago.  I think the consensus then was that /usr/pkg/var
could be a symlink to /var for the people who wanted to share /usr/pkg
around.  This would also work for /usr/pkg/etc, and keeps all the
package stuff together on sites that don't share /usr/pkg.

Most other stuff (start-up scripts excepted, can't think of anything
else off the top of my head) that doesn't change between systems should
probably be below /usr/pkg/share, not /usr/pkg/etc (IMHO).

Sound reasonable?
