You know, I hear this alot. But as a Solaris administrator, I've yet to hear or install *ANY* 3rd party software that installs files in /etc/init.d that doesn't require hand-tweaking. And, if they require hand-tweaking, with a bit of work, it can be converted to FreeBSD's rc.d stuff (assuming the rc.shutdown stuff actually works now.) Very few if *any* Solaris binaries actually rely on run-levels. At least that's been my experience.
