Works for me...
I don't understand why it doesn't work for you.

Well, you might already implicitly conclude that from the second
paragraph:
It is advisable to leave rc.conf untouched, and instead create
and edit a new rc.conf.local file. Variables set in this file
will override variables previously set in rc.conf.
But we could make that more explicit:
It is advisable to leave rc.conf untouched, and instead create
and edit a new rc.conf.local file. Since only the last assignment
to any variable takes effect, variables set in this file override
variables previously set in rc.conf.
