I've been doing this right away on fresh systems:

	mkdir -p /usr/pkg/etc
	ln -s /etc/rc.d /usr/pkg/etc

and then things more or less just work for package daemons....

(watch out for scripts with ".sh" filename extensions though as they may
have a detrimental affect on /etc/rc -- update your pkgsrc to current
first and you'll be OK)


If your system already has a lot of packages with startup scripts
installed then you might do this first:

	cd /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d
	for file in *.sh ; do 
		mv $file $(basename $file .sh)
	done
	mv * /etc/rc.d
	cd ..
	rmdir /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d

Of course this starts everything without configuration since most
third-party rc.d scripts don't support use of /etc/rc.subr (which would
give them the capability to check for their config variable).
