ATM, it is not handled. I think the best approach for this is to add a
simple configuration file for rcorder to select one provider of a given
script. E.g. something like

/etc/rc.pkg.d/dhcpcd
/etc/rc.d/*

with first match wins. So the example would take the dhcpcd script from
pkgsrc and otherwise prefer the base scripts.
