Use forcestart/forcestop instead of start/stop when running the rc script if you do not have it enabled in rc.conf. This is documented in rc(8) (and is very easily overlooked if you don't know what you are looking for.) Well thank you both for that piece of information, I had overlooked that. I did end up using it that way, but I was still unaware that it was mandatory. The problem with forcestart is that it ignores any errors that may occur. The better option for a manual start is onestart, which simply bypasses the test for the option being enabled but still fails on any other error (missing dependencies, startup problems etc).
