Even easier than that. Just install the port into /usr/local and then
edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf as instructed in the pkg-message file.
4.8-RELEASE already includes the sm-msp mail submission instance, so
you can just use your pre-existing rc.conf setup to start up sendmail:
no rc.d script required.

The ports version of sendmail will look in ${PREFIX}/etc/mail for all
of the configuration (.cf) files: you'll have to make sure that your
.mc files reference the correct aliases, virtusertable, access,
local-host-names file etc. so that the generated .cf files reference
the right places.
Cheers,
Matthew
