If you're NFS-exporting your /usr/local, you are basically expected to
care for /usr/local/etc yourself.  Typically, this would be a symlink
to /etc/local/ then.  There's quite more in /usr/local/etc that will
make it machine-specific, like various configuration files.

This should probably be mentioned somewhere.
