In the port's pkg-install script there are a bunch of messages printed 
which summarize what has to be done to bring up xorp_rtrmgr at boot. 
I'll repeat that again here:

* You also have to add defaultrouter="NO" and xorp_enable="YES" to your 
/etc/rc.conf.

* You must create a working configuration file in 
${PREFIX}/etc/xorp.conf otherwise the router manager won't start. The 
LiveCD does some menu configuration to create this file by default.

* PREFIX is almost always /usr/local, though it's only a symlink on the 
LiveCD.
