I don't like this. :-)

It's fine to say that "rc.d" isn't meant to be modified by the user, but
if you need/want to replace, say, openssh, ntpd, or bind with a
different version, there's no better way to do it than to install the
replacement in /usr/local or /usr/pkg and change the path in the rc.d
script.

Overwriting "/etc/defaults" is fine with me.
