Attached is a patch to remove the lines which start syslogd and klogd from /etc/rc and move this function to /etc/rc.d/sysklogd,
Keep in mind that rc.single starts syslogd and klogd as well, but doesn't use rc.conf's SERVICES=() array, IOW if a user removes core/syslogd and the alternative *logd doesn't provide compatibility binaries this patch would break single user mode. Well, it would of course just break logging, not single user mode :-).

Well, rsyslog would be entirely capable of having symlinks as /usr/sbin/syslogd and /usr/sbin/klogd, as it operates in the exact same way, however, that might not be applicable to other logging daemons such as syslog-ng or metalog and might require a reworking of rc.single, which I'm willing to do. -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc
