I haven't tried using it for this, but I wonder if RC_USE_CONFIG_PROFILE
would help. See /etc/conf.d/rc for details but basically you set up
different configs for different runlevels, so you could have a different
runlevel for each situation, but make the actual runlevel directories
symlinks to default. Selecting the runlevel on rebooting would certainly
pick up the appropriate config, you'd have to try it to see what happens
when switching runlevels while running.
