It is better to work from binary/sets/etc.tgz -- untar it somewhere safe,
like 'mkdir /newetc ; cd /newetc ; pax -pe -zrf /path/to/etc.tgz', then do
an 'etcupdate -b /newetc'. One advantage is that the /etc/mtree/* checksums
will match what you built and installed.

n.b.: etcupdate should learn to use the etc.tgz tarball, like postinstall does.
