Pretty much the same came to my mind some weeks ago. I'd propose a "rcadm" command like Solaris' svcadm, so you do not need to care about if the rc script is in /etc/rc.d or in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. And it would be safer to check if the service is already listed in rc.conf, so it doesn't get appended every time you enable a service.
