How about using the /usr/local/etc/rc.d mechanism, and 'ldconfig -m'
to merge in other directories containing share libraries?  At least
one package already installs like this (the Modula-3 package?) and it
doesn't required a package install/remove to edit any files to remove
that it think it installed.

Perhaps there needs to be an opportunity to run some of those scripts
from a different place (on the root filesystem?) earlier in the
startup process.  But I don't believe that a whole other mechanism is
required to solve this problem.
