I am using FreeBSD 6.  I haven't tried xorg 7.2 port(s) yet, but
recently did merge /usr/X11R6 to /usr/local (programs reinstalled,
made link to X11R6 to local, and such).  On a reboot after that,
scripts indeed ran twice.  That was very annoying. and mildly
surprising, as the scripts are currently dumb enough not to realize
that /usr/X11R6 is a symbolic link to /usr/local.

That was fixed by, in /etc/rc.conf, ...

  local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d"
  local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic"
