/usr/local/etc/packages is where package configuration files are stores.

/usr/local/etc/packages/EXCLUDES is a list of files to exclude from upgrading. For example, suppose you modify the protocols file with some custom entries and don't wnnt this file updated. And you've patched ifconfig for some weird nic. You could add this file to EXCLUDES to keep them from being changed:
