There is /etc/rc.shutdown.

What I have is a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d called nut.sh. It starts and 
stops the NUT daemons. If it has been asked to stop it, it checks if the 
killpower flag is present and if so, it runs upsdrvctl with the option to 
shutdown the UPS.

Make sure you have a shutdown gracedelay though - FreeBSD doesn't run any 
scripts after the disks are unmounted so you must start the UPS shutdown 
phase before the disks are unmounted, hence the need for a grace delay.
