As I'm pursuing these matters as well, I've found that mucking with
jails is faster, for a lot of bulk work.  Starting/stopping a jail
is _much_ quicker than reboots.  (And it's a lot easier to reset a
jail to a prior state.)  This won't exercise the rc* scripts, but
will let you quickly test for dependancies elsewhere.

And whatever you find for dependancies, please document them
somewhere; I still have a fantasy of 'deconstructing' FreeBSD into
finer-grained packages...
