I'm not claiming it is the best way, but what I did was to make a
copy of my existing /etc, then do a "make distribution" in
/usr/src/etc (which also rebuilds /dev), then delete all the old
files in /etc (date < newly istalled files), then manually bring
customizations from the old /etc into the new.
