Maybe see openssh package for some examples. See its
"UPDATE_INTREE_OPENSSH" (Makefile.intree).

Have a look at pkgsrc/Packages.txt and read the "Configuration files
handling and placement" section. The files are generally installed "under
share/examples/${PKGNAME} so PLIST can register them."

Also see the openssh pksrc Makefile and look at the
PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR and CONF_FILES lines (and post-install target). See the
PLIST too (because it does have the configs added under
share/examples/openssh/, for example.)
