I've updated the patch and extended it a little:
https://phabric.freebsd.org/D451
It can now print the rc options for a service.
It needs however to have the options listed as comments between the
KEYWORDS section and the sourcing of /etc/rc.subr.
And I've made some changes to rc.subr itself:
https://phabric.freebsd.org/D452
So now you can use
# service sshd describe
Secure Shell Daemon
and
# service sshd extracommands
configtest keygen reload
Sorry for the mess in phabricator's SUMMARY. I will learn the markup
syntax later...
