/etc/rc.conf contains only the overrides to /etc/defaults/rc.conf; thus,
there is no "default-install" copy of this file, nor is it installed when
upgrading.  It is created on installation by selections made when you
install or later when you use /stand/sysinstall to modify something or
when you directly edit it.  As it is all custom configuration, you
wouldn't want it overwritten.

There is, however, new /usr/src/etc/defaults/rc.conf, intended for 
/etc/defaults/rc.conf.
