This looks really ugly. 

A thorough examination of /etc/rc.subr shows that a startup script
sources a certain /etc/rc.conf.d/"$_name". Maybe I should try to place
"export KRB5_KTNAME=/home/svn/svn.keytab" there. At least
/etc/rc.conf.d/svnserve will be sourced only once at svnserve startup,
and not hundreds of times like rc.conf. 

But anyway, I don't like the idea of placing commands (not variables)
in /etc/rc.conf* There should be support for the rc.d framework to
assign limits, environment variables and login classes.
