The script in securelevel checks if a variable named securelevel is set
in rc.conf and if it is, sets the securelevel to that level. if it isn't,
it sets it to 1, if I'm not fully mistaken :)

from /etc/defaults/rc.conf which is sourced by /etc/rc.conf :

# Security setting.  If $securelevel is non-empty, the system securelevel
# is set to this value early in the boot sequence.  Otherwise the default
# action is taken (see init(8)).
#
securelevel=""                                  # securelevel to set to

have a look at your rc.conf and defaults ?
