I don't see how this could be true (unless mergemaster did something).
The 'install' target in /usr/src/etc/sendmail/Makefile only installs a .cf
file:

install:	${INSTALL_CF}
.if (defined(SENDMAIL_MC) && defined(SENDMAIL_CF))
	@echo ">>> ERROR: Both SENDMAIL_CF and SENDMAIL_MC can not be set"
	@false
.endif
.if defined(INSTALL_CF)
.if ${INSTALL_CF} != ${DEST_CF}
	${INSTALL} ${COPY} -o ${BINOWN} -g ${BINGRP} -m 644 ${INSTALL_CF} \
		${DEST_CF}
.endif
.endif

There is nothing there to overwrite a .mc file.

/usr/src/etc/mail/Makefile is not used during installworld.  However, even
if you later did a 'make install' in /etc/mail, `hostname`.mc is only put
in place if it doesn't already exist:

.ifndef SENDMAIL_MC
SENDMAIL_MC!=           hostname
SENDMAIL_MC:=           ${SENDMAIL_MC}.mc

${SENDMAIL_MC}: freebsd.mc
	cp freebsd.mc ${SENDMAIL_MC}
.endif
