Sounds like the only missing pieces, then, are standard
ways to enable, disable, and configure services.  How about:

   sudo /etc/rc.d/ssh enable
   sudo /etc/rc.d/ssh disable
   sudo /etc/rc.d/ssh configure

That shouldn't be much of a stretch to implement, either.
The first two just append entries to /etc/rc.conf.  The
third opens an editor with a list of variables supported
by this service and then appends the result to rc.conf.
