More than useful, I'd say necessary, because some programs must run as
daemons, e.g. dbus is the first that comes to mind.

I've also noticed that if run:
pkg_info -D -a

some "MESSAGE"s are lost.

E.g. cups, there was a recommendation:

========================================
The following files should be created for cups-2.0.3nb1:

        /etc/rc.d/cupsd (m=0755)
            [/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/cupsd]

==========================================

But this is lost in "pkg_info -D cups"
