You cannot tweak the variable "rc_conf_files" in your /etc/rc.conf or 
whatever files except /etc/defaults/rc.conf.  Please be sure that the 
variable should be used before loading /etc/rc.conf (and all files 
listed in the variable.)

As others said, use /etc/rc.conf as default and /etc/rc.conf.local as 
local options, and you'll be happy with it.
