You don't. Defaults are set in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, overridden in
/etc/rc.conf. Unless you add the logic yourself in /etc/rc.conf, the
environment is not looked at.
So this means a one-time edit of /etc/rc.conf:
if test -n "${SSHD_FLAGS}"; then
sshd_flags="${SSHD_FLAGS}"
else
sshd_flags="${sshd_flags}"
fi
Then start with SSHD_FLAGS="-o X11Forwarding=no" /etc/rc.d/sshd start
But this is specific for sshd, as it supports _flags. There's no generic way
to do this.
