Can I commit the first part? (patch-sysconfbase.diff)
I would then update the RC scripts more carefully (basically one by one, manually) as some changes are actually more involved than just a dynamic path to rc.subr.
This should have no impact on privileged builds, while allowing unprivileged builds to use the RC scripts provided by pkgsrc on many platforms, including NetBSD and macOS.
