Well, I think it would be a good idea if it's not too difficult. But I think the option should be USERCONFIG, not NOUSERCONFIG. I see this feature as a really valuable advantage when installing FreeBSD, and of not much use afterwards, so it makes more sense to add it as an option rather than offering the option of removing it again.
