What is wrong with ports adding startup scripts to /etc/rc.d? For certain ports, that is the only way to get the startup dependencies right (like making sure openldap or postgresql starts before your mail system). This will become more important as more of the base system moves to ports/packages. Just refine the note in UPDATING to specifically state which startup scripts to remove, rather than "rm -rf /etc/rc.d/*".
