It's use was to help in migrating the rc.d scripts while providing backward compatibility for older systems. All that needs to be done is to update the sysutils/rc_subr port to use the latest rc.subr script, and then revert the USE_RC_SUBR changes make to bsd.port.mk in revisions 1.554 and 1.555 in bsd.port.mk.
