Ports are not supposed to install configuration files that you are  
meant to edit; rather, they should install templates that you can  
copy and then edit, so that future port updates do not overwrite your  
changes.

The .dist extension probably means something like "as distributed",  
so you are meant to copy these files to different names (whatever  
name the software expects) and modify them to suit.
