I did check the archives, there was no thread that seemed to apply.

But it makes sense to me to have a port, for the same reason it made
sense to have a port for bind.  What started this for me was a
desire to pick up some of features in 8.10, and the base system is
currently using 8.9.

It's true that grabbing the sources from Sendmail.org into
/usr/local/src and building them is not tricky (especially given
that Eric Allman is a CRSG luminary), but a port could automate
that.
