/etc/rc.conf and /etc.rc.conf.local are for environment variables used by /etc/rc -only-. These two files have no other value. Adding new environment variables you make up on your own will have no impact whatsoever.

If you want 3rd party applications started by /etc/rc, you do that in the shell script /etc/rc.local.
