    So lets just use /etc/rc.conf.d/<package_name> with
    "<package_name>_enable=yes" in it.

    That keeps ports from trying to edit a critical file (/etc/rc.conf) on
    install and deinstall. It also recognizes that daemon startup is an
    individual system thing, not common across all mounters of $PREFIX.
