I don't think so.

/etc/rc.conf.d/ is for the end-user to place files to configure services.

It so happens that it's ideal for the end-user to do so using tools that
automate the process.  (Perhaps by installing a package, perhaps by using
the chkconfig(1) utility [which, sadly, is not yet installed by default]).
