In general this sounds good to me.  I'm not quite sure how to manage
setting the lines in loader.conf.  Using 'service foo start/stop'
seems to be a bit of an abuse of what service is used for as opposed
to just including a standalone script in the devcpu-data port with a
suitable pkg-message.  sysrc seems to be a closer analog than service
in theory, but shoehorning this into sysrc would seem to be quite
ugly and doesn't seem like a good idea to me either.
