There is a way.  etcpath() looks for mhn.defaults in this order:
 * 3) Next, check in nmh Mail directory.
 * 4) Next, check in nmh `etc' directory.

So if the user puts an mhn.defaults in their Mail directory, then only
it will be read.  They'd have to copy any entries that they do want
from /etc/nmh/mhn.defaults to their own.
