I  had to install both myself for an application we run on a server. I
installed them from /usr/ports/misc/compat4x and compat5x. The install
placed  the  startup  scripts  000.compat4x.sh  and 000.compat5x.sh in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d.  They  startup after reboot every time. There was
no need to place anything in the rc.conf.
