bzzt.  there's a piece of code in /etc/postinstall that looks like
this:

rcconf_is_set()
{
...
		for f in \
		    ${DEST_DIR}/etc/rc.conf \
		    ${DEST_DIR}/etc/rc.conf.d/${_rcis_name}; do
			[ -f "${f}" ] && . "${f}";
		done
...
}

and if you load ${DEST_DIR}/etc/rc.conf, that'll load your real
/etc/defaults/rc.conf, which means you can get spurious results.

i don't have a real "solution" to this problem other than to note that
/etc/postinstall is only really useful for the host machine.
