First, let me say that I agree with Johnny that it's the admin's job of
ensuring a process is stopped before he removes files. 

That said, such policy things should be kept out of pkg_delete, and be
implemented in DEINSTALL scripts instead. 

Maybe think about how to know the location of the rc.d script. 
Also, what happens if a pkg comes with more than one rc.d script?
(see net/ucd-snmp)

Can of worms...
