/etc/rc.d is not just for boot time scripts. You can put 'nostart' in
the script's KEYWORD section if you don't want it processed at boot time.
My personal feeling is that if it is configured through rc.conf then it
should go in /etc/rc.d, but I won't insist on it.

Please source /etc/rc.subr and use the load_rc_config() routine
to do this. Usage: load_rc_config $command. If you don't want
it to source a /etc/rc.conf.d/$command file, then just use 'XXX'
as its argument.

There are also other convenience routines in that file
that you may wish to use. For example the err() routine
might be of use in the above situation.

Cheers.
