The suggestion was to copy /usr/*/etc/rc.d/* to /etc/rc.d whenever a
package is installed... or at every system shutdown as well for the
paranoid! This should be thought of as the package registering itself in a
database rather than parts of the package being installed in silly places!
The PLIST would *not* show the copy in /etc. Package rc.d scripts would
source /etc/rc.conf *and* /usr/pkg/etc/rc.conf.

Should there be on /usr/pkg/etc/rc.conf or one per package? The latter
would make for easier uninstalls...

/etc/rc.d can be trivially regenerated from a base install by rerunning
the script that copies /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* and /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/*
there.
