rc.conf is usually only for boot-time config and starting daemons. E.g. 
portaudit just installs a periodic script, and I think the disaster would 
happen when you forget to also enable it in some config file. PostgreSQL 
installs both a daemon and periodic scripts, but the scripts do nothing when 
the daemon is not running. So I think it really depends on what the port does.
