I am curious about if anyone has had any level of success in adapting
OpenRC from Gentoo as a way to enhance and extent the capabilities of
sysvinit in B/LFS and utilize a more enhanced script set?

I attempted to import OpenRC into a recent SVN build of LFS using
methods adapted from Slackware’s Slackbuild.org community as a
reference, but had some issues during boot in which the boot process
completely halted and dropped to the emergency shell when the initial
start of the OpenRC services failed.

I am curious since this is beyond the scope of traditional LFS, and
somewhat more akin to BLFS if anyone had any success with it, and
could offer any suggestions and help in regards to getting the boot
process working using OpenRC?

I am not familiar with OpenRC. What does it offer? If you are concerned with boot times, this is what my system does with the LFS boot scripts:
