If you translate `rarely' into `not for most of the installations',
so: yes.  I suspect that most of the installations serve standalone
machines, maybe sitting in a network of other machines, but often not
with other FreeBSD machines.

/home?  /usr/X11R6? /usr/share?

There are too many possibilites to make `generic' assumptions.  I
agree however that the standard install might ask whether it should
move /usr/local/etc (and/or /usr/X11R6/etc) out to /etc/local (or
/etc/X11R6).  But first i'm waiting for Jordan's new `setup' tool
(projected new name for the sysinstall successor).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
