Correct.  The rcorder method is used only for /etc/rc.d scripts.  See:

    $ grep -n rcorder /etc/rc
    71:files=`rcorder -k ${os} ${skip} /etc/rc.d/* 2>/dev/null`

You'd have to patch localpkg with something like this to add rcorder support:

This will order the ${slist} list of scripts just before running them.

Note that this list will contain scripts from ALL the different
directories you've added to local_startup.  If you want to order the
scripts of each directory separately, you'd have to order the scripts
per directory before adding them to ${slist}:
