Just the standard one:

http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/pkginstall.html#conf-files

I think it's this part that made me believe everything will be handled  
automatically:

"Once the required configuration files are in place (i.e., under the  
examples hierarchy), the pkginstall framework can use them as master  
copies during the package installation to update what is in $ 
{PKG_SYSCONFDIR}. To achieve this, the variables CONF_FILES and  
CONF_FILES_PERMS are used."

IMO it should be updated to explain that this applies only to files  
immediately in the ${EGDIR} and that any subdirectories thereunder  
need to be created explicitly using MAKE_DIRS.
