yes and no.  it depends on your system version.

it is possible in 1.6_BETA1 and -current.  see revision 1.37 of
/etc/defaults/rc.conf:

  revision 1.37
  date: 2002/05/19 01:01:33;  author: lukem;  state: Exp;  lines: +9 -1
  Add two new rc.conf(5) variables:
      rc_rcorder_flags            extra flags to rcorder(8) in /etc/rc
      rcshutdown_rcorder_flags    extra flags to rcorder(8) in /etc/rc.shut=
down
 =20
  This can be used to specify extra directories to search for rc.d scripts =
in.
  For example, adding the following to rc.conf(5):
          rc_rcorder_flags=3D"/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/*"
          rcshutdown_rcorder_flags=3D"/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/*"
  will add the files in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d to the list of files that rcorder=
(8)
  uses to build the list of scripts to start or stop.

  I proposed this functionality on tech-userlevel@ over one month ago.
  Closes the recent [misc/16888], which asked for a similar feature.


another possibility is to set INSTALL_RCD_SCRIPTS to YES in /etc/mk.conf
and packages which install rc scripts with help from bsd.pkg.install.mk
will install their rc scripts directly to /etc/rc.d.
