The retrieve, patch and command-tags can all be used for this. As with
most things regarding morphix, there are many ways and all have their
pro's and con's.

The Debian-way would be to construct a package that changes the
configuration, you could keep this in a local repository and have it
installed in your mainmod.
Then again, the 'official' stance of Debian is that a package may not
directly change the configuration-files of any other package. But that's
Debian.

You might want to post your questions to morphix-devel instead, it's a
bit more active and has become a list on both tool development and
custom-livecd development.
