Ah!!! It just clicked! You got a lot of _enable="NO"
This is rather unusual - you usually override something from 
/etc/defaults/rc.conf with a "YES"

Your /etc/defaults/rc.conf has missing entries. It probably was not 
upgraded properly (during the mergemaster phase?)

For example, /etc/defaults/rc.conf normally has this:

zfs_enable="NO"         # Set to YES to automatically mount ZFS file systems

but yours doesn't, that's why you had to put it in /etc/rc.conf by hand.

I suggest you try with an /etc/defaults/rc.conf from the installation 
media (I can send you mine if you wish)
