I wouldn't do this either, as you'll get the same problem as copying it to
rc.conf, because when /etc/defaults/rc.conf pulls in /etc/rc.conf.local,
rc.conf.local will then pull in rc.conf & rc.conf.local (until you run out
of file descriptors).
If you do copy /etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.local
make sure that you remove:

for i in ${rc_conf_files}; do
if [ -f $i ]; then
. $i
fi
done
from the end of the file.
