oops john, please DO list everything into pkg/PLIST. Only those
files that are listed in pkg/PLIST will be included in package
(binary distribution).
Since (old, 2.2.5-RELEASE) samba port does not list
etc/smb.conf.default in pkg/PLIST, samba package does not have
that file. Now first-time user who installed samba package will
not be able to have etc/smb.conf.default.
To avoid overwrite, (IMHO) configuration file should be installed
under name "foobaa-dist" or "foobaa.sample". Of course the file
must be listed in pkg/PLIST.
