If not, how much code would need to be added to bsdinstall? Or, is there
some other utility, such as something from the PC-BSD suite of scripts,
that can be used as a drop-in replacement for sysinstall in "SCRIPT
SYNTAX" mode?
No it can't, but speaking as someone who used this feature in sysinstall… Good
riddance :)
I wrote a shell script which does an install itself (i.e. no bsdinstall - which
is just [mostly] a shell script).
It is 200 lines, a fair chunk of which is pre-canned stuff to go into rc.conf,
loader.conf, etc..

I also modified the rc.local script the installer uses to add an option to call
my script.
Although pc-sysinstall is probably the [much] better choice for
scripting, there are facilities in bsdinstall to help writing of custom
installers like this, and the regular installer is in fact an example of
a scripted install. There's some more information in bsdinstall(8) for
the curious.
