If the file is just a file -- not an editable (preserve=true) file -- then
it'll just be updated.  Otherwise, it'll be updated as long as it hasn't
been changed.

If it has been changed, then it gets left alone.  In order to force changes
into it, you need to deliver the fragments you wish to add to the file into
some known (but possibly private) location, and have some software run
prior to it being used that can merge those fragments.  If there's already
some piece of software that always runs before the file is used, then it
can be modified to do the merge.  Otherwise, you can deliver an SMF service
that will do it for you (an existing one may do the trick, too), and mark
the file with the tag "restart_fmri=...".

See Casper's putback recently to do this for the RBAC files.
