What is the prefered way to ave a daemon built from the ports tree (in this case arpwatch) strated at boot time?
See rc(8).
The "preferred" way is to use rc.local.
ex. something as simple as the following should suffice:
# start my great deamon
if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/greatdaemond ]; then
echo -n ' greatdaemond'; /usr/local/sbin/greatdaemond
fi
