No, the install process doesn’t touch rc.conf. If you enable sshd during install, it changes nothing; if you disable sshd during install, it adds “sshd_flags=NO” to rc.conf.local.

Read the manual page: rc.conf(8)

It is advisable to leave rc.conf untouched, and instead create and edit a new rc.conf.local file. Variables set in this file will override variables previously set in rc.conf.
