Not really; it's a great start, but something like..

if [ -z "$_RC_CONF" ]; then
	. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
	if type source_rc_confs | fgrep "shell function" > /dev/null; then
		source_rc_confs
	else
		rc_conf_files=${rc_conf_files-'/etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.local'}
		for i in $rc_conf_files; do
			if [ -r "$i" ]; then
				. "$i"
			fi
		done
	fi
	_RC_CONF=1	# just in case..
fi
  
..would do the trick better :)

G'luck,
Peter
