This applied to old style startup scripts. This paragraph will have to
be revised.

It depends. All rc.d scripts are executed first according to rcorder(8). Then
old style scripts are executed in lexicographical order. Both scripts appear
to be rc.d scripts (in today's ports tree). So, if amavis should be started
after clamav, then the maintainer has to specify that in the dependency:
REQUIRE: clamd

Cheers.
