For an example of the problem, take a look on your system at /lib/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules. This is part of openrc's hotplug functionality. Basically it tries to run /etc/init.d/net.$INTERFACE start when a network interface is added to the system and rc_hotplug allows it. In net-wireless/bluez, you will see similar integration between openrc and udev. Once bluez is installed, /lib/udev/rules.d/70-bluetooth.rules runs bluetooth.sh which tries to run a service in /etc/init.d. To make things work with /any/ init system, the best way to go would be to make it a practice not to run services from within udev rules or external run scripts like net.sh and bluetooth.sh in /lib/udev.
