You mean there is a use case when webcamd starts before devd?

If you want that you need to drop the conflicting REQUIRED
dependencies:

-# REQUIRE: FILESYSTEMS
+# REQUIRE: FILESYSTEMS netif dbus
  # BEFORE: devd

In this case the theoretical rcorder will be:
/etc/rc.d/FILESYSTEMS
...
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/webcamd
...
/etc/rc.d/devd

But it's not (I just tried) as devd is kicked in very early and
can't dig and find out why now.

So the BEFORE: is definitely ignored in any case and does not
affect rcorder. I think you can remove it.
