Hmm... IMHO, even 3rd party scripts should be resided in /etc/rc.d too.
Moreover, you can depend joined /etc/rc.d and ${LOCALBASE}/etc/rc.d by
the following command:

	rcorder /etc/rc.d/* ${LOCALBASE}/etc/rc.d/*

But this means that your ${LOCALBASE}/etc/rc.d directory must be
accessible *before* any file system has been mounted. On my own systems
I just have copied /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/* scripts to system /etc/rc.d, so
as potentially all my used 3rd party software must be ran *after*
file systems mounts. This will build all dependencies needed and then
all 3rd party daemons / tools will smoothly starts.
