I think that is inappropriate.
My rationale for that being:

/opt/csw/etc[/foo] (and /etc/opt/csw[/foo] )
  should be where conf files for *running* the software go.

In contrast, 
/opt/csw/etc/CSWfoo

should be where conf files for configuring the *package* of it goes.

This is in my mind, for clarity's sake. 
if someone is reading the standard documentation on the product, they will
look in /opt/csw/etc/foo, and see all the software-documented files they
expect. If on the other hand, they see a bunch of other things, they may
get confused why they are there.

I was thinking that files in /opt/csw/etc/CSWfoo, should only be applicable
to pkgadd/pkgrm time.
Hence, why in my opinion, the directory should be named after the PKG name.
