It's pretty easily changed, although there is a sort-of precedent for it, 
namely the old version had usr.sbin and libexec components together..  The 
components are pretty heavily dependent on a common Makefile.inc.  Others 
that do this include xntpd, I'm sure I've seen it around elsewhere in the 
tree but none spring to mind...
