Unfortunately, it's not that simple. There isn't a script in /etc/rc.d
that will look at kdm and kdm_flags. Your best bet is probably to look at
/etc/rc.d/xdm and either modify it in place or copy it to /etc/rc.d/kdm
and change that copy to use the kdm variables in rc.conf as well as to
start kdm.

At a guess, that means changing PROVIDE, name and required_files.
