The problem, as I get from Randi, isn't adding the crontab entry (its not 
required anyway), but that since 300.statistics isn't in 
/etc/periodic/monthly by default, sysinstall would have to do a pkg_add of 
the port to get it installed first, *then* add the appropriate entries to 
both /etc/periodic.conf and /etc/rc.conf so that it runs ...

The latter two are doable, but havin to do a pkg_add seems to be the part 
that is being frowned on ...
