Switch to using rc.d for local packages is premature for RELENG_6

While I can certainly appreciate your frustration, "it doesn't work" isn't
much of a bug report. You mentioned latest RELENG_6, and if you got the new
local_startup code then I assume that you've mergemaster'ed, that leaves
your ports. Are you using the latest versions of everything? The two
specific examples you gave have both been updated since the first of the
year to address problems that surfaced after the local_startup change was
mfc'ed.

On the contrary, as I said above, the two you mentioned specifically have
both been upgraded for the new environment. If you can provide more
information (perhaps as a followup to the -ports list) I'm sure we can help
you debug it more thoroughly.
