That is pretty much the idea, but the other *BSDs also seem to have it 
so FreeBSD is not exactly the only system that has it.
Mentioning somewhere that it exists probably is a good idea but if you
install stuff vis the prots mechanism the Makefile there should handle
things correctly. Both the qmail and postfix ports appear to be aware of
mailwrapper.
