That is not necessary.  The steps you documented earlier--about having
to manually create a bunch of directories before CUPS would work--looked
like just what I found on a 4.8 system earlier this week.

Anyway, the CUPS startup in /usr/local/etc/rc.d will run the CUPS
daemon.  It isn't necessary to replace lpd, which will run at the same
time.
