I don't really like the sound of this.  I get where you're coming from
but right now rc.conf is one of the wonderful things about FreeBSD.

  A friend of mine recently installed NetBSD and was amazed that
everything was configurable from a single case.

  I see why this functionality might be desirable (jails are very
specific, after all) but if this happens we might just as well put all
sorts of options into other files and end up with the mess that is
``Linux config scripts'' :)

  Tata,
