Well, if you're going the web based route then you could do worse to at least look at Wouter de Boer has done with "FreEasy" - I have a copy up at time.cdrom.com:~ftp/pub/FreEasy-0.2.tar.gz which only works for older 2.1.x systems for some things (it configures /etc/sysconfig rather than /etc/rc.conf) but is still a good example of one way to do it.
