That makes no sense to me.

What makes no sense?  The sed(1) man page?  Which section in particular
is confusing?  And please, explain the rationale for making your port
automatically edit /etc/rc.conf.

editing /etc/rc.conf was just given as a example for the post.
Yes the whole man sed reads like Greek. For a neophyte programmer I can not even begin to comprehend what its saying. That man page needs examples of use. You have forgotten that those man pages are for reference for people who all ready know how to use it. Its not intended for novices. So yes it's useless to me.
