No, /usr/X11R6 and /usr/pkg can be different partitions.

So you want every pkg config file in /etc? Well, so again at least
I object to that, because I want this seperated *by default*.
If its an option (like linking /usr/pkg/etc to /etc) its ok, as its
done on purpose by the user.

I see only few packages who really make sense to have their configs in
/etc (every package that is configured by host *only*, like ssh and
its keys). But the majority can have the config files in /usr/pkg/etc.
They belong there - I know where to look and they don't polute
/etc and give me a nightmare when I update the OS, where I have to
merge in the new /etc.

Just my two cents, greets
