OpenRC needs a proper directory structure in /run/openrc to track the
status of services. It is handled by init.sh and friends, you may need
to hack that.

No, it not crazy. I am running OpenRC to manage services on the clusters
where I have only normal user privilege, it's in parallel to sysv-rc
like system of RHEL5. You might look into the MKPREFIX build option.
And out of curiosity, what are you trying to achieve here?
