Either way, by symlinking /etc/opt/csw/muttrc to /opt/csw/etc/muttrc or vice versa you can have the desired behaviour. That being said I would value consistency higher than to select where configs are put on a package-by-package basis. And as we have decided with /etc/opt/csw as default for configurations I think it is better to put everything in there as you can still link back if you need it.
