In theory the pkgsrc guide explains this, but I'm not sure it actually
does.   See pkgsrc/doc/*.

The short answer is that by default the rc.d scripts are treatd as
examples.  If you want to enable something, you can copy it to
/etc/rc.d, where all the startup scripts live.

Or, you can tell pkgsrc to install a copy for every package that has an
rc.d script by putting the following in /etc/mk.conf

PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS=                YES
