Going that route is likely to be messy given the current monolithic 
/etc/libmap{,32}.conf

You'd most likely want ${LOCALBASE}/etc/libmap.conf.d/* (in a similar 
manner to etc/periodic, etc/rc.d and so on).  Whether the code that 
currently handles libmap.conf is itself extended to use this directory 
structure is open for discussion.  An alternate method could perhaps be 
a 'genlibmap' command which takes /etc/libmap.conf and this directory 
structure to create a /var/run/libmap.conf which is actually used by rtld.

Having potentially multiple ports dinking _directly_ with 
/etc/libmap.conf will result in considerable foot shooting.
