Wise words. The kernel and world builds/installs went fine, but soon 
afterwards I noticed a problem with the mail/dcc-dccd port (required, in 
my case, by SpamAssassin), which would not rebuild, complaining that the 
base sendmail was not found or too old.

Since I use Postfix, I had set WITHOUT_SENDMAIL in /etc/src.conf. I shall 
remove it and rebuild. C'est la vie!
