In which case how about implementing something a little more sysv-ish for
only ports?

Ie, a rough idea:

/usr/local/etc/rcS.d for startup scripts
/usr/local/etc/rcK.d for shutdown scripts

With a "compatibilty" /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory for old style ports.
New ports which wish to use sysv-ish startup and shutdown can.  Those
which don't, don't.

Would this provide sufficient granularity?
