Another option would be to do something like:

define(`filetrans_pattern',`
	allow $1 $2:dir rw_dir_perms;
	type_transition $1 $2:$4 $3 $5;
')

interface(`files_etc_filetrans',`
	gen_require(`
		type etc_t;
	')

	filetrans_pattern($1, etc_t, $2, $3, $4)
')

interface(`sysnet_etc_filetrans_config',`
	gen_require(`
		type net_conf_t;
	')

	files_etc_filetrans($1, net_conf_t, file, $2)
')

sysnet_etc_filetrans_config(unconfined_t, resolv.conf)
sysnet_etc_filetrans_config(NetworkManager_t)

Seems to work.
