I have a better idea, then we perhaps need something like a wrapper

Hmm. I talked with Gordon about this issue some last night, but he pointed out a snag: most installs of FreeBSD place /usr on a separate partition from /. The rcNG ordering decision is made before /usr is mounted, as /usr is mounted as part of the pieces kicked off by rc.d. So it would be a fairly large departure from the current implementation of the rcNG code to reevaluate the ordering once more directories were available in which to find scripts to run. Not that it's not doable, but we need to think about it carefully (and, unfortunately, it's not as easy as simply adding /usr/local/etc/rc.d to the list..)
In PR conf/56736: <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=conf/56736> I suggested something like that: evaluate rcorder, execute till a certain point, the reevaluate and continue exection. If you are interested I can modify the patch to do just that.
