Well well, apart from the patch, I didn't explained what I wanted properly.
If I change PKG_SYSCONFBASE to anywhere else, shouldn't default scripts
get installed there (the ones in the holding area)? So maybe the thing to
do is to fix packages to install their scripts into ${PKG_SYSCONFBASE}/rc.d
and then let bsd.pkg.install.mk move them to /etc/rc.d. What I mean is that
those packages have ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d into them and the "etc" directory is
controlled by PKG_SYSCONFBASE?

Is this ok?...

Thanks
