My experience has been such: I use "exim" (www.exim.org) for an mta. I move the sendmail in its original location to sendmail.orig and put a soft link to my exim executable. I have not had trouble building world though I don't do it much. I do have to redo my link after a build world. If I put a NO in the sendmail in rc.conf I do not get any sendmail daemon running.
