Just install another one from ports/packages. To avoid disappointments I recommend to leave csh or sh in /etc/passwd at least for root. There's a lot of tweaks for the base system build. Have a look at "man src.conf". E. g. I'm a true hater of "locate" and I say WITHOUT_LOCATE=1 in "src.conf". Further I say WITHOUT_SENDMAIL=1 but that requires to follow strictly the instructions of the mail program alternative how to replace the base systems mechanism. The native location of the file to say things like that is "/etc/src.conf" but you can tweak that by saying "SRCCONF=/my/path/to/my/taste/of/src.conf" on the "make" command line.
