Most of them are data files or shell sourcesand don't need special permissions. I normally install them with install -D -D -p -o root -g wheel -m 644 The Makefile only gives 755 permissions to netstart and pccard_ether. Many of the shell sources begin with !#/bin/sh, but this is bogus except for these two files. rc.i386, rc.network, rc.pccard can't even work right when they are exec'ed directly, since they depend on rc.conf being sourced previously to set the options.
