The closest thing is /etc/rc.d/var which creates a skeleton directory tree. This is designed for diskless usage -- if you look at the script, it's pretty easy to see it doesn't have much in the way of customization hooks. Basically you get what's recorded in the mtree files: BSD.var.dist and (optionally) BSD.sendmail.dist Like I said, you're going to have to script it yourself.
