The if and else parts above don't seem logically related.
I have it at this place because here is where the decision to append
really happens.
  Maybe you
could initialize nlflags as:

     unsigned int nlflags = cfg->fc_nlflags &
(NLM_F_REPLACE|NLM_F_APPEND);

And then pass rtmsg_fib(..., nlflags) to avoid the flag test/set?
nlflags should only contain NLM_F_REPLACE and NLM_F_APPEND if a replace or
append really took place. Hence the check and setting of nlflags is at
the place where that
decision is made.

I had tried this patch a couple of other ways.... Do you think the below
would be less confusing ?

thanks.

Why even bother modifying this part? Is this actually needed at all, are there some other flags you plan to drop into nlflags as well that would be passed as a part of this message?

I'm not sure I see the point of using the |=. Why not just use a = and save yourself an instruction or two since you don't really need the OR operator in this case.
