That's the wrong place to put it - it'll get run every time a program tries to read the configuration. The rc.conf and rc.conf.local files are to set up configuration only. Rather use /etc/rc.local for your startup stuff. Alternatively, if you want to find out how the packages that are installed on FreeBSD add things to the startup process, look in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory, at the files ending with '.sh'. The apache ports/packages already add themselves this way - it's probably called 'apache.sh'.
