It's not supposed to. rc.d/localdaemons is started independently later in the
boot and the output you should see is:
/etc/rc: DEBUG: run_rc_command: evaluating locald_start(). 
Local package initialization:

There must be something non-standard about your installation. This has been
working fine for a long time. In fact, I have mysql server on my
workstation and it comes up with every boot just like it's supposed to. 
Generally, the scripts in/usr/local/etc/rc.d should be executable and they
should end with a '.sh' suffix.

Cheers.
