This is exactly what the File resource type's 'replace' parameter is for.
file { '/etc/foo.conf'':
ensure => 'file',
source => 'puppet:///mymodule/foo.conf',
replace => false
}
That will install the file (as a copy from the specified source, in the
above example) if it does not already exist, but it will not modify an
existing file.
