When I installed privoxy from ports a shell script was placed in 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d, which does the job.  Mine is mode 555.  I'll e-mail 
you a copy if you want. I wouldn't link from /etc/rc.d -- bad mojo.

I put the following two variables in /etc/rc.conf, and privoxy finds 
it's configuration files in the directory /usr/local/etc/privoxy/ 
without any help. There is more than one configuration file, and they 
are substantially self documenting.

   privoxy_enable="YES"
   privoxy_flags="-- user privoxy"
