Make sure you have

postfix_command="/usr/pkg/sbin/${name}"

Read /etc/rc.d/postfix to understand how it uses the variables.

Yes, the rc.conf stuff only happens at boot.  /etc/rc.d/postfix restart
(not reload, and using the rc.d script) probably will start the new
postfix, but you perhaps should "/usr/sbin/postfix stop".  (In general
you should be rebooting to verify that it comes up right on boot
anyway.)
