You can create a .../quagga/INSTALL file that looks like (there's more 
to making a nice INSTALL script but the idea is there):

#!/bin/sh
case $2 in
POST-INSTALL)
	[ -f /etc/rc.d/quagga ] ||
	cp ${PKG_PREFIX}/share/quagga/quagga.sh /etc/rc.d/quagga
	;;
esac

and then also a DEINSTALL script that looks like:

#!/bin/sh
case $w in
DEINSTALL)
	[ -f /etc/rc.d/quagga ] && rm -f /etc/rc.d/quagga
	;;
esac

When this package is added with pkg_add, then the INSTALL script will be 
invoked as per the pkg_add man page, and will copy the rc.d script into 
place at post-install time.  The DEINSTALL script will remove it during 
deinstallation.

I hope this helps!
