You can do several things. You get a network class from cfengine, eg:
127.4.4

control:

   127.4.4::
      DIR = ( "subnet1" )
      EXT  = ( "subnet1" )

   127.4.5::
      DIR = ( "subnet2" )
      EXT  = ( "subnet2" )

copy:
     /usr/local/cfengine/inputs/solaris/$DIR
         dest=/
         ...

Another solution would be:
   copy::
      /usr/local/cfengine/inputs/solaris/
          dest=/
          exclude=*subnet1
          exclude=*subnet2

   for network special files do:
     /usr/local/cfengine/inputs/solaris/etc/auto_master.$(EXT)
             dest=/usr/local/cfengine/inputs/solaris/etc/auto_master
