Erm. I don't know how you would be able to use ${prefix}/etc/rc.conf.d/ 
considering that /etc/rc.subr does:
      if [ -f /etc/rc.conf.d/"$_command" ]; then
                debug "Sourcing /etc/rc.conf.d/${_command}"
                . /etc/rc.conf.d/"$_command"
        fi

That is the only reference to *rc.conf.d* in rc.subr. So clearly rc.subr would
need to be modified to be able to handle rc.conf.d/$_command files in $LOCALBASE. Even more work to handle them in $PREFIX.

I noticed that while reading rc.subr manpage after sending the email, my
apologies for the quick response.
