Not sure you can have one /etc for several BSDs, I seem to recall that
it's not always been compatible between different versions of DF (pamd)
so I wouldn't expect the same /etc to work for more than one BSD. Not
sure about /var.

Would it not be easier to install one instance of each and use the same
/home for all of them, that would probably work even for multiple BSDs.
