How about /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d (read: ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d)?
So it's possible to logical assign the rc.d script to the installed pkg's
(if someone wants to use more than one PREFIX - e.g. for testing).

An rc.subr package would be great and the scripts should look for it in
/etc/rc.subr and ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.subr - this increases the portability.
