Thank you for answering.
Are you saying that the rc-system should not be used for setting a 
program to background to be able to continue booting?

In that case maybe a simple entry like this in /etc/crontab will do:
@reboot  /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics -nodelay

I do not think only the bsdstats script is enough to want to install 
anacron.
