Yes, IMHO it should be a part of bsd.pkg.install.mk and defs.<opsys>.mk
files, but i can't add this directly to it. Moreover, as separate file
it may (and should) be pretty tested before committing it to pkgsrc.

Next, as I've mentioned at tech-pkg, include dependent packages within
*_FOR_PLATFORM variables assume high claims to that variables. The oshavercd.mk
doesn't cancel this claims. Please see also to my patch on bsd.pkg.mk provided
in tech-pkg message within subject "Re: Dependent, but not available packages"

I think no. But it is possible use oshavercd.mk without bsd.pkg.install.mk
In such case it provides two additional functions: MAJOR_OS_VERSION and
OS_HAVE_RCD. However, this is just legacy, not a planned advantage.

Please feel free to rename it as you wish (as well as edit it itself).
This is pkgsrc-wip: Work-In-Progress :)
