I think what we really want is to explicitly say, e.g. nfsd_enable is
considered the same as if mountd_enable set to "YES" regardless whether
we got a "NO" from the default rc.conf.

e.g. in the past we do:

 - in nfsd script:
   if enabled="YES" then forcestart mountd

Now we do:

 - in nfsd script: start when nfsd_enable="YES"
 - in mountd script: start when either mountd_enable="YES" or
nfsd_enabled="YES"

And, make sure that these scripts are properly ordered when necessary.
