That's fine.

After installing a package, its rc.d scripts are installed to
LOCALBASE/share/examples/rc.d, I think, where LOCALBASE defaults to
/usr/pkg. Thus, you can find squid's example rc.d script in
/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d. From there, you should copy it to
RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR, which defaults to /etc/rc.d. Usually /etc/rc.d is a good
choice because it resides on a filesystem that is mounted early while
booting.

When compiling from pkgsrc, you can change this behaviour by setting the
appropriate variables in /etc/mk.conf. Have a look at
/usr/pkgsrc/mk/defaults/mk.conf and look for LOCALBASE and
RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR, and probably also for PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS.

Just copy "/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/squid" to "/etc/rc.d/squid", and
everything should work as expected.
