Would it be possible to add a /etc/defaults/rc.d and have /etc/rc
take its scripts from there unless a file with the same name exists
in /etc/rc.d?  Then files could be installed automatically into
/etc/defaults/rc.d, and anyone who wanted to modify something would
just have to copy the appropriate file into /etc/rc.d and edit it
there.  (As a bonus, this is backwards-compatible with the existing
setup.)
