Maybe I should re-install! :P

No. They have to be executable by root.
If I have a daemon on want started, AND I want it to run as user
"DORK", can I have the binary and the startscript owned by user "DORK"
in order to have it started that way?
It will run, but it will still run as root.
the more I think about this, the more I get confused...
Apparently.
If a startup script lives in /usr/local/etc/rc.d does its ownership
determine the ownership of the process it starts?
No.
or is the the owner of the binary the script starts that determines
the owner of the process
Not that either.
And, if it needs to change ownership, is it up to the program itself
to change who it runs as?
The script can start a program under a different user if it wants. Many of the standard ones do so, typically using su(1).
