Suggestions for where to put the information:
* In a page related to documentation of how PmWiki works
* In one of the pages discussiong customizations

To be more specific (assuming the second suggsetion), put the information
on a page called for instance

	PmWiki/ConfigurationFiles

and refer to it from PmWiki/InitialSetupTasks, e.g. change the 
initial paragraph to something like

	Once you have PmWiki up and running on your site (see
	PmWiki.Installation), you may want to begin customizing PmWiki for
	your particular needs. Most PmWiki customizations are performed in
	a file called local/config.php. See {{PmWiki/configuration files}}
	for more details on that topic.

and add it do DocumentationIndex. I think that should be enough.

I guess this kind of documetions is also a bit related to something that 
explains the directory structure of a PmWiki installation.
