It looks like your sendmail .mc file (which is used to build your
sendmail.cf) is missing the
	OSTYPE(freebsd4)
statement which pulls in
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/ostype/freebsd4.m4,
which defines LOCAL_MAILER_PATH as /usr/libexec/mail.local.  You'll
probably want to use /etc/mail/freebsd.mc as the starting point for your
sendmail configuration.
