No -- I expect that the command line actually executed will be the same in either case. I guess the advantage of the script is that you have the 'stop' option as well, which you don't get with rc.conf. On the other hand, it's one more script you have to maintain. Personally I'd go with the rc.conf variables and use pppctl to shut down the daemon if I ever needed to, but I think it's down to personal preference at this point.
