Yes, that should work.  I'm pretty sure I posted patches some time ago
which implement this kind of solution a whole lot more elegantly.  :-)
(if they're not easily found I can re-post/send my /etc/rc)

Why do you think the pkg system needs to remain separate from the rest
of the system?

My changes to /etc/rc are only intended for keeping /usr/local stuff
isolated from the base system and managed packages.

The entire idea of a package management system eliminates almost all the
need for such separation (the remaining bit being the teaching of the
package management system about the base system's files, which can sort
of be done now, but not quite automatically).
