Why? I do not think ports should be allowed to install stuff directly to
DESTDIR instead of PREFIX (OpenLDAP might be an exception because it
might be needed very early in the boot phase). It's bad enough that
third party run scripts can live in ${X11PREFIX}/etc/rc.d and
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d already, please don't offer them /etc/rc.d, too.
