No. There's a fundamental difference between FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

nothing to convert users; it doesn't care about users. Its by

I'm sure that's a lot of it. But I think I should point out the
FreeBSD solution does more than let you avoid writing something in
rc.local. Adding a snippet in rc.local will get your daemon up all
right, but it provides no way to have your daemon shut down in an
orderly fashion the way FreeBSD's /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ setup does.
I've always thought this was the biggest shortcoming of BSD init vs.
SysV init. -- BSD init only solves half the problem.
