Please take a look at what NetBSD just recently did:
http://www.netbsd.org/Changes/#softdepsmount

These changes disables the whole 'tunefs' process, and let you control
softupdates state with mount, (-o softdep). So all you have to do is to
tune your /etc/fstab to enable softupdates. I think this will make it
more easy to enable SOFTUPDATES by default.
