not related to the post in question here, but i find portmaster to be 
far superior to portmanager and portupgrade. Check it out

i have never, ever seen port-anything add an entry to rc.conf. at best 
pkg-install will have a note to do so, at worst it will not and you have 
to check out the file installed to rc.d to see the proper entry to add.
