Not.  At least not for everybody, although I'm doing it this way as well.
I'm thinking of improving this process, though...

[I'm sure Greg'd love that one.]

Typically, we reference ${PKGBASE}/etc/rc.d/* for this; this is quite
consistent with maintaining ${PKGBASE} as a separate but similar hierarchy
to /, which is something I happen to personally favour, but that's my
problem.

In order to keep it consistent, we'd probably also want to have
${PKGBASE}/etc/rc.conf and have an /etc/rc.d/local run sometime after
mountall is done.

/etc/rc.d/local would, first thing:

	. ${PKGBASE:-/usr/pkg}/etc/rc.conf

How it proceeds after that is left as an exercise to those who "know
best how to proceed".
