Just a matter of luck...  :-)

Are those lines really in your /etc/inetd.conf file?  Those
look more like lines from /etc/services.

I have no experience with cups-lpr or lprng, so I'm not sure
what would be causing the problems you described.  But anything
named /usr/local/etc/rc.d/blah.sh will be executed at startup.
(well, if it is marked as executable).  I don't think inetd
enters into that.  But maybe the script launches another copy
of inetd with a different config file.

Try:

pkg_info -W /usr/local/etc/rc.d/lprng.sh
or
pkg_which /usr/local/etc/rc.d/lprng.sh

(pkg_which is under /usr/local/sbin, if you've installed
the portupgrade port).  You might have to move the file
back to it's original name for those commands to work...
