Well beeing new ( and only testing ) to 5.4-stable i can't say for sure but i 
think /etc/localpkg know better :)

in /etc/defaults/rc.conf :
local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d"

so the default should be ok if you don't change it in /etc/rc.conf

from /etc/localpkg ( src updated a few days ago) :

# $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.d/localpkg,v 1.4.2.1 2004/10/10 09:50:53 mtm Exp $
#
..........


for script in ${dir}/*.sh; do <--- so it should load all the *.sh files
   slist="${slist}${script_name_sep}${script}"
done

............

for script in ${slist}; do
        if [ -x "${script}" ]; then <-- if the file is executable start it 
         (set -T
           trap 'exit 1' 2
           ${script} start)
..............

from what i see the procedure hasn't  changed much since 4.X
