For a similar issue (chrooted named, isn't it ?) I have in
/etc/mtree/special.local:
/set uname=root gname=wheel
./etc                           type=dir  mode=0755
./etc/namedb                    type=link mode=0755
./etc/named.conf                type=link mode=0755

no changes needed to other files in /etc/mtree/
This is on NetBSD 3.x
