>Description:
The dnsmasq port that was installed with 5.4-RELEASE was functioning properly.
A cvsup to update the ports tree has probably loaded a new version of that port, which installs its initialisation script under /etc/rc.d/dnsmasq rather than /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq.sh
>From this point on, any subsequent reboots will ignore the dnsmasq_enables="YES" in rc.conf.
You need to manually log into the machine and start it with /etc/rc.d/dnsmasq start
It then works normally.
This link suggests it is a general problem: http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?p=188651

>How-To-Repeat:
- install 5.4-RELEASE
- portinstall dnsmasq
- check that /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq.sh exists
- enable dnsmasq in rc.conf
- reboot
- check that dnsmasq is running
- update ports tree
- portupgrade dnsmasq
- check that /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq.sh no longer exists
- check that /etc/rc.d/dnsmasq exists
- reboot
- check that dnsmasq is not running after boot depsite rc.conf.
>Fix:
Not really a fix... but this works:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/dnsmasq /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq.sh
