In that case we should remove the check from portlint, until  
USE_RC_ORDER is no longer required by supported systems.  Otherwise  
it's just another confusing portlint warning.  The port author  
removed it because portlint said it was deprecated.

Can USE_RC_ORDER still be used on all supported FreeBSD versions  
without negative effect?  If there is a need to conditionalize  
behaviour on OSVERSION, it could be handled in bsd.port.mk (depending  
on how many ports need it, really).
