If you update your pkgsrc, specifically bsd.pkg.install.mk, then the rc.d
script won't be automatically installed anymore:

By default, don't install the rc.d scripts into /etc/rc.d.  Despite the
fact that they don't do anything unless the appropriate variables are set
in rc.conf, people really dislike the warning emitted at startup.  For
users that do want the pkg_* tools to handle automatically copying and
removing the rc.d scripts, the mk.conf variable to set is
INSTALL_RCD_SCRIPTS=YES.

Does 'pkg_info cups' not tell you which packages require it?
