I believe someone pointed this out already, but there's no need to make any
new rc*.d directories. So long as the scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d are
written to accept start & stop parameters the way SysVinit /etc/init.d/
scripts are written.
Simply applying the patch below to /etc/rc.shutdown should allow ports to be
shutdown cleanly. Should be harmless if /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh scripts do
not accept the stop parameter. Better yet rename the current
/etc/rc.shutdown to /etc/rc.shutdown.local (analogous to /etc/rc.local) and
source it into a new /etc/rc.shutdown which only does the stuff below. BTW,
${local_startup} in /etc/rc.conf becomes rather misnamed if this patch is
adopted.
