The script serves two purposes: it's a single-point control script for the
sysadmin to use to do various common tasks (qmailctl cdb, qmailctl stop, etc),
and it's suitable for use as a SysV-style init script. Your BSD doesn't use a
SysV-style init system, so ignore the second use for now.

Skip the init.d link; FreeBSD doesn't use SysV-style init.
Instead, you want to put a line in (IIRC) /etc/rc.d/rc.local that contains
something like "/var/qmail/bin/qmailctl start".
