Unless I'm very confused, there's no httpd of any kind in the default install. You must have installed the apache port (or some other web server). Sendmail, inetd and many other things can be enabled and disabled at install time (or later) from the Configuration->Networking and Configuration->Startup menus of sysinstall. Those services that aren't deemed worthy of a menu option can generally be disabled by a switch in /etc/rc.conf ('man rc.conf' for details).
