You could have a weekly cron job on all boxes that does a rpm for all package config files, diff against a "snapshot" copy contained under /var somewhere, email those diffs to a change management system,then save the current files in the snapshot directory.
First run will send the complete configs, all subsequent runs will send the diffs.
Of course you need a change management system that will hold an inventory of systems, those systems' hardware/software inventories and configurations, and track those changes with alerts and reports and such.
I don't know of a good system for doing all that unfortunately, but if you do find one let me know.
