It actually did, at least in this instance.  The rule of thumb is
distros go in /usr/{s,}bin, '3rd part software suites' (think loads of
java and marketing speak - oracle, for instance) live under
/opt/$package, and /usr/local is for local admin installed software.
/usr/local seems to perfectly describe the normal target audience of
freeradius, so I would think it's perfect where it is.  If a '3rd party'
wants to come along and provide a fully integrated, web2.1-ready, blah
blah radius solution and charge you lots of money for the priviledge,
that should definitely go under /opt.  But I don't think that's the goal
or the distribution method here.
