init(8) was always a kind of odd / non-obvious place for securelevel
to be documented, but I agree with Pavel too - this is not programmer
info in section 9 either.  Wherever it ends up, the most important
thing is that it's well cross-referenced from sysctl(8), init(8) (for
historical reasons), secmodel(9), etc. so that people can find it.

maybe a sysctl.conf(4) similar to options(4) that can document the
important knobs and act as an index to other more specific pages?
