Shouldn't this be ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/rc.d ?

Ok, I will do that.

I am interested in how users can modify options for the script. In the base
system there's /etc/defaults/rc.conf which gets included and sets default
values for various services (e.g. ipmon_flags, ntpdate_flags,
syslogd_flags,..). People can override those flags in /etc/rc.conf
(or roll their own /etc/rc.conf.d/some_service).

At the moment my script says:
  /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd: WARNING: $sa-spamd is not set properly

because there is no YES-NO entry in /etc/defaults/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf for
it (and no $sa-spamd_flags of course).

Is there something like this for packages? Debian seems to include some
/etc/some_service.conf where they set a variable OPTION="-a -b -c".
