If you mean "update" rather than "install, see pkgsrc/systils/etcmanage.
It will be slightly hard to get your head around, but then it can be
used to install a build and update the files in /etc, preserving local
changes, automatically.

It may not do what you want, but I think it might.  It does what I want,
for some reason :-)
