If the port has been converted to rcNG, there should be switch for it in
/etc/rc.conf.

For example, here is pkg_message from the apache13 port:

===>  BE CAREFULL HOW TO BOOT on 1.3.29_4 or after:
        To run apache www server from startup, add apache_enable="YES"
        in your /etc/rc.conf.


For ports that are still configured in the old way, you will typically find
a sample script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, and then need to rename and/or make
it executable.
