I think the confusion starts with the idea of enabling NPF by just
putting the NPF=yes into scripts in /etc/rc.conf.d.

It might have worked by pure luck in older releases, but it was wrong there
too.

I would argue that to enable it you should have NPF=yes in /etc/rc.conf,
and to override special stuff in the $name script  (which I can't think
of reasonable uses for this case) you would put that overrides into
/etc/rc.conf.d/$name.
