I debugged this further and found some interesting results.  If I run rcorder 
on just /etc/rc.d/* cleanvar gets scheduled after var, but if I run rcorder 
on /etc/rc.d/* and my scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, I get a different order 
and cleanvar is just before pflog (which REQUIREs cleanvar).  Making 'netif' 
REQUIRE cleanvar does seem to fix this, but having rcorder give different 
lists is troubling considering we invoke it twice.  Would hate to skip a 
script and/or run one twice because it moved before or after $early_divider.  
In my case it seems that no scripts prior to $early_divider were affected.

You can find my rcorder outputs at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/rcfun/

'one' is 'rcorder -s nostart /etc/rc.d/*' before I patched netif
'two' is 'rcorder -s nostart /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/<mumble>' before 
I patched netif (where <mumble> are all the rcNG style scripts)
'three' is 'rcorder -s nostart /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/<mumble>' after 
I patched netif.
