Let's see:
root at kg-work# ls -l /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2250 Mar 11 16:12 /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
root at kg-work# portversion -v  | grep sane-backends
sane-backends-1.0.17_2      <  needs updating (port has 1.0.17_3) 

Hmm, there is no package og sane-backends 1.0.17_3. Ok, lets try to install that after uninstalling the port then.
root at kg-work# portinstall -PP sane-backends
...
...
root at kg-work# ls -l /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2250 Mar 11 16:12 /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf

Ok, it seems that the package didn't touch the file.
Now, lets use portupgrade to upgrade it from the port:
root at kg-work# portupgrade sane-backends
...
...
root at kg-work# ls -l /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2250 Mar 11 16:12 /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf

Hmm, it seems that the latest version of the port (1.0.17_3) does the right thing with the config file too.
It didn't do that in prevoius versions.
