I don't think there's anything wrong with that solution, and I myself 
prefer it.  (I symlink from a CVSed area).  rc.d is very flexible and 
everything that happens at boot time is all in one (or two :-)) places.  
And you can run something every time the machine is shut down as well as 
when it's rebooted.  Can't do that with cron :-)
