Could we have bsd.port.mk add the following (or similar code) to
pkg-plist for the ports that are built on systems that install the
startup script without a .sh extension?

install-rc-script:
:
.if (${OSVERSION} >= 700007 || (${OSVERSION} < 700000 && ${OSVERSION}
>= 600101))
	@for i in ${USE_RC_SUBR}; do \
		${INSTALL_SCRIPT} ${WRKDIR}/$${i} ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/$${i%.sh}; \
+                              ${ECHO_CMD} "@exec set
OSVERSION=\`/sbin/sysctl -n kern.osreldate\` ; if ! (${OSVERSION} >=
700007 || (${OSVERSION} < 700000 && ${OSVERSION} >= 600101)) ; then
echo \"This package requires a minimum of %%OSVERSION%%.  You need to
compile %%PKGNAME%% on your system from /usr/ports/%%PKGORIGIN%%\" ;
false ; endif" >> ${TMPPLIST}
		${ECHO_CMD} "etc/rc.d/$${i%.sh}" >> ${TMPPLIST}; \
	done
.else
