Seems sysconfdir configure directive is not applied or not honored. adding --enable-etcdir=${PREFIX}/etc to CONFIGURE_ARGS fixes the situation.
Fixed, thanks, sorry it took long

Reopen given that change has been backed out and pass it to new maintainer
This might be a good candidate for merging into the quarterly branch.
Please re-add the feature or remove the same changes that were made in editors/vim some months ago, so that the same rule applies to all ports. Or just add an UPDATING entry, a pkg-message or whatever and make the zsh port more useful and user friendly.
(In reply to Johannes Jost Meixner from comment #4) The commit was backed out; there's nothing to MFH here at this time.
(In reply to Lars Engels from comment #5) I think the Right Thing is for zsh to look for appropriate configuration files in ${PREFIX}/etc and /etc, but zsh has to be taught how to do that (and I haven't had time to do that yet). But then also, which one has priority? I don't think that forcing only /usr/local/etc is any better than forcing only /etc, as it's just going to cause confusion.
I have asked the question to the zsh mailing list here as to whether it is feasible to allow zsh to search multiple directories for its startup/shutdown configuration scripts: http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2016/msg01288.html

PORTREVISION bump, and a note in UPDATING. PR: 201866 Changes: head/UPDATING head/shells/zsh/Makefile head/shells/zsh/files/pkg-message.in
I've committed the change back in, and added an option, ETCDIR, to let people switch it back if they need to. Also added a pkg-message and an UPDATING entry about it. Johannes, I think I'm not going to merge it to quarterly. 2016Q3 will be branching very soon, and I'd like it to get vetted in latest first. Thanks to everyone involved for being so patient.
