FreeBSD comes with a nice example aliases file too. Also exim4 comes
with a fab example aliases file too which can be installed with
the src.

To quote the great man himself (Phil Hazel's NewStuff Doc)

    (1) Local/Makefile has a new setting called SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE, defaulting
        to /etc/aliases. This is used only when installing the default
        configuration, as the name of the file in the system_aliases router.
        If the file does not exist, a dummy is created (this is not a change;
        it used to happen for the fixed /etc/aliases previously).


Which kinda covers most points related to that nicely ;)
