Maybe I misunderstand your problem but...
 $ pkg_add spamassassin-2.40.tgz
 ...
 Installing configuration files for spamassassin-2.40:
 /usr/pkg/etc/spamassassin/local.cf
 /usr/pkg/etc/spamassassin/user_prefs.template
 /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/spamd
 /etc/rc.d/spamd
 ...
 $ ls -al /etc/rc.d/spamd /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/spamd
 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1532 Sep 4 00:31 /etc/rc.d/spamd
 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1532 Sep 4 00:31 /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/spamd
 $ pkg_delete spamassassin
 $ ls -al /etc/rc.d/spamd /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/spamd
 ls: /etc/rc.d/spamd: No such file or directory
 ls: /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/spamd: No such file or directory
So there is a mechanism to create/remove those files in rc.d.
The downside (for me) is this:
 $ pkg_info -F /etc/rc.d/spamd 
 pkg_info: No matching pkg for /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/spamd
I cannot include those files in the PLIST because they are
copied/deleted automatically by pkgsrc. Thus, we have files the command
'pkg_info' cannot identify.
