The default for extract.suffix is .tar.gz. So you are setting
distfiles to "rbldnsd_0.996b.tar.gz" and then resetting
extract.suffix to be .tar.tgz, which does no harm since
extract.suffix is never used again, but it's not necessary
either. .tar.gz means a GZip-compressed TAR ("Tape ARchive"). .tgz is
an abbreviation for .tar.gz that some people use, perhaps for
compatibility with silly filesystems that expect there to be only one
extension on a filename. .tar.tgz is nonsense :) -- it would mean a
GZip-compressed TAR of a TAR.
Regarding sample config files, many ports install them in the same
place where the real config files would be used, only with an
extension, like ".sample" or ".example" or ".dist" (e.g. php5 in $
{prefix}/etc/php5). Some ports put the sample config files in places
unrelated to where the software looks for the real config files and
don't append an extension to the filenames (e.g. mysql5: samples in $
{prefix}/share/mysql5/mysql, real files looked for in ${prefix}/etc/
mysql5).
