It's there already.  I've just used a trick with md5(1) to check if the
file rc.conf changes and you missed it because it's hidden between two
other lines.  Just above the body of the if-block you're reading I had
added the following:

% +             _sum_before=`md5 /etc/rc.conf`
% +             run_rc_script ${_rc_elem} ${_boot}
% +             _sum_after=`md5 /etc/rc.conf`
