One doesn't start anything from the rc.conf file - at least properly.
Those things get started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
What goes in /etc/rc.conf are environmental variable settings that
those rc.d scripts look at to determine what to do.
I was under the impression that when one 'restarts' that the
service will "re-read" /etc/rc.conf
I am not sure just at what point the rc.conf is read or re-read.
Try putting something in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xxxx.sh script to
check for a specific environmental variable that you make up and put
in /etc/rc.conf and then running the xxxx.sh script manually to see
what it knows about - even just put a printenv in the script.

From the source it's clear that rc.conf is read when the individual rc
script executes a load_rc_config $name (or equivalent).
