I don't think anyone is assuming that.  What's being assumed is that
you can install a software package from pkg_src, configure it, and add
"mumble=YES" to /etc/rc.conf -- and expect it to start at the next
reboot.  This matches what you do with a number of packages that are
included in the base system.  Adding a requirement to copy the startup
script from its installed location in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/ to /etc/rc.d/
seems like it ought to be unnecessary.
