Have a look at /usr/local/etv/rc.d/
Mine contains
---<kdm.sh>---
#!/bin/sh
#
# $Id: kdm.sh,v 1.1 2001/03/05 17:21:56 so Exp $
#
# Script to start kdm automagically at boot time
#
# $Log: kdm.sh,v $
# Revision 1.1 2001/03/05 17:21:56 so
# Initial revision
#
#
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/kdm ]
then
echo " kdm"
(sleep 60; /usr/local/bin/kdm)&
fi
---</kdm.sh>---
which is quit brute force, as it assumes some simple things to succed
before this script runs. There are better ways to do it, look for it at
the mailing list archives at http://www-freebsd.org/mail/
