Other things seem to be moving in the direction of putting default values (that are updated with the system) in /etc/defaults, and local changes in /etc. That would suggest /etc/defaults/shells for the shells installed as part of the base system, and /etc/shells for shells added later, whether from ports or elsewhere.
