Unfortunately, we can't ATM nor it seems we will anytime soon due to lack of
interest and hands. Your best option would be to put Artix repositories
*below* Parabola's and specifically install initscript packages from our
repos:

pacman -S world/nginx-openrc

Note, this might entail creating a separate pacman.conf package where
Architecture is set to x86_64 in order to even sync and access our
repositories, which is error-prone and kind of advanced stuff.
