Have you checked /usr/src/UPDATING? :-)

20020404:
        The sendmail startup code in /etc/rc has been changed to deal
        with a non-set-user-ID sendmail binary.  Setting the rc.conf
        variable sendmail_enable to "NO" no longer prevents any sendmail
        daemons from starting.  Instead, set sendmail_enable to "NONE"
        to prevent any MTA from being started at boot.


Best regards,
Henrik Holmstam
