It's there already. I've just used a trick with md5(1) to check if the
file rc.conf changes and you missed it because it's hidden between two
other lines. Just above the body of the if-block you're reading I had
added the following:
% + _sum_before=`md5 /etc/rc.conf`
% + run_rc_script ${_rc_elem} ${_boot}
% + _sum_after=`md5 /etc/rc.conf`
