find /usr/local/etc/rc.d -name \*.sh -exec {} start \;

Although old style scripts SHOULD work if it ends in .sh and is executable.

According to my reading of rc.subr - if they end in .sh they will be sourced 
in the current shell, otherwise they will be sourced in a subshell.. Dunno if 
that is affecting things (see run_rc_script)
