patch to remove pre-everything check that always fails (wrongly) in some
scenarios

On a system without base sendmail installed, and no explicit
"WITH_SENDMAIL_(BASE|PORT)" defined, the port will not build because it fails
at the sanity check.

the "WITH_SENDMAIL_PORT" is the default when it's not defined, and the
BUILD_DEPENDS and RUN_DEPENDS are appropriately set to pull in sendmail's
milter library.

However, that library is not in place when "pre-everything" target is run, so
the existence check for the library fails 100% of the time.

I don't really see the value in the check at all.  The attached patch removes
it completely.  The worst case scenario is somebody changes default options on
sendmail that cause this port to break during building.  That's an edge case I
think.
