Sure not, but you decide to have the service when you pkg_add/make 
install whatever you're doing.

I've helped setting up some machine for some Linux wheenie recently, and 
wow was he surprised some things did *not* work out of the box after 
pkg_add... certainly things like adding things to config files like the 
apache modules.

You wouldn't mind any shell-pkg modifying /etc/shells either.

The deal if the pkg system was and is to make things for _users_ as easy 
as possible. Introducing any additional manual intervention is bad.

Said that, someone should add some sane config files to our fvwm2 pkg, 
and probably others as well.
