It has been a while since I did a fresh install, but something like this
should do the trick.

# cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix
# make && sudo make replace
# vi /etc/rc.conf
...
sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-bd"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

This presumes you want to run Postfix as a mail server as well as your MTA.

Probably because installing the port is made so easy your hand is help all
the way. Simply by trying it, you're likely not to need any help.
