If you want to be consistent you could add to /etc/rc.conf rc_conf_files="/etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.local /usr/local/etc/rc.conf" Then your startup variables could go into /usr/local/etc/rc.conf and all your ports config stuff would live in /usr/local/etc hierarchy. There maybe a problem if /usr/local/etc/rc.conf is on another partition not available early enough in startup process.
