The pkg-descr and COMMENT should probably be amended to reflect this
since it was confusing to me too. :) Perhaps something like the attached?

Also, in looking at the shell script that is provided for the
additions it would be nice if it could be updated to an rc.d style
script. If anyone wants to tackle that and needs help feel free to
follow up on the -ports list, or freebsd-rc at FreeBSD.org.
