Yes, disklabel(8) currently has no option to add/modify the packid (i.e. label 
name) of a slice. At the moment, one need to dump the current label, modify the 
‘label:’ field, and then write back.

It’s on my todo list for some time to update disklabel(8) to better do this 
job, since we are using it in the installer images.
