You'd put its startup script into /usr/local/etc/rc.d and give it an

That phrase refers to the scripts already in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
But the docs seem to be telling you that it runs those scripts first,
then starts itself up (without needing to have its own script there).
In that case, relax, you've got what you want already.
