Nope. rc.local.

if [ -f /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/cupsd ]; then
   /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/cupsd start
fi
   
if [ -f /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/slpd ]; then
      /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/slpd start
fi

Somewhere along the way I seem to have picked up the notion that that is a
reasonable way to start something not mentioned in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

Yup.

NO! And of course, as another of the assembled online faithful suggested to
me off-list, that was the missing link. :-) 

I guess my understanding of rc.d in NetBSD is really really messed up. Since
I saw no mention of cupsd in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, I couldn't imagine how
putting it in /etc/rc.conf could have any effect. Silly me. <g>
