I run BSD, and I believe config files should sit in /etc if the files are not 
many. We can even go with one config file, such as postgres.conf which will 
include the paths to other files - that can sit anywhere - in /etc/pgsql for 
example or in /usr/local/pgsql/etc.

But, let's not start religious wars whether the System V way is better than 
BSD's :-)
