Can't you do something like this:

I do too. If you have a run-once thing that quickly returns, couldn't
you just not exec the thing in the run script, and then have the last
statement in your run script write a "down" file to the service? I'm
assuming that s6 does down files the same way as daemontools.
Then, all that remains is to have stage 1 of your boot delete all the
down files that were put there to achieve run-once.
If it really is a daemon, but you don't want it respawned, couldn't you
have the "finish" script (they have those in runit, I don't know about
s6) write the "down" file?
You know what you could do? You could make a $servicedir/oneshot
shellscript that does something like this:
touch ./down
cat "rm $scriptname/down" >> $whatever/enable_oneshots.sh
Then all you'd need to do is run $whatever/enable_oneshots.sh in stage
1, and right after that truncate and make executable
$whatever/enable_oneshots.
