Yes, that's the answer. In fact, /etc/default/rc.conf clearly says:
# Basic network configuration
#
# Fully Qualified Internet Domain Name (a.k.a. hostname, e.g. foo.baz.edu).
# If blank, use /etc/myname.
#
hostname=""
# If there's only one way out of your network, set this to the hostname
# or the IP address of the router that will get your packets off the LAN.
# If blank, use /etc/mygate.
#
defaultroute=""
# The NIS domain name (formerly known as Yellow Pages); not in any way
# related to Internet domain names.
# If blank, use /etc/defaultdomain.
#
domainname=""
