Not saying this is the absolute best approach, but take a look at 
security/openvpn. that is after what i modeled my enhancement to the 
dns/knot2 startup script in 
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203931 . i think the 
diff in that PR would make a good example of what youre looking to 
accomplish, clearly illustrating the actual modification. knot2 is 
rather simple software so nothing's in the way to obscure the 
illustrative value youre looking for, yet it also has the extra control 
function in there referencing the knotc control utility executable
