first:
The file /etc/rc.conf.local is
used to override settings in /etc/rc.conf for historical reasons. See
the rc_conf_files variable below.
second:
rc_conf_files
(str) This option is used to specify a list of files that
will override the settings in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. The
files will be read in the order in which they are specified
and should include the full path to the file. By default,
the files specified are /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf.local
So, extend rc_conf_files with /usr/local/etc/rc.conf, that's an acceptable
extension IMO, and you're done. ports can touch that.
Though, IMO ports could touch the .local files, regardless it's in /etc/.
That's why it's rc.conf_.local_ .
Anyways, I'm not a core member, it was just a point of view.
Sincerely,
