yea i've figured it out. this really should be better documented though... i'll be sending all the info to the documentation mailing list. here's the proper way to do it. the filename is 'httpd_start.sh' with 555 mode. rc scripts, both rcNG and the old *.sh styles must have the .sh extension to be recognized (source: bsdforums.org). the script was placed in '/usr/local/etc/rc.d'.
Just to say that man rc does cover this, but it takes a bit of reading -- certainly no harm in a handbook entry for it. The easiest way to figure out patterns for what you can do is (as ever) to read the source; in this case all the myriad scripts in /etc/rc.d (and /etc/rc itself), bearing in mind that the ordering stuff at the top won't work. However, I would future-proof my scripts and put it all in -- it's easy enough. The apache2.sh script was also quite informative though given that your example is an http startup script I guess you didn't install apache2 from ports.
