Ah-ha. Thanks for that.

I believe pkgsrc puts rc.d style scripts in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d. I've also
put a few in there myself. 

There's two reasons I personally like this idea, one is to keep the
startup script with the prefix where it's software installed, and two is
that I tend to keep as much local software modification out of /etc as
possible.

This sounds like a good thing to bring to DragonFly. :)
