It's going to "complain", a little anyway, in the same way as it would
do if you had installed the MTA manually as a port/package, and set the
appropriate options to make it work (mainly mailer.conf, periodic.conf
and newsyslog).

I don't think it is possible (with the way mergemaster is supposed to
work) to teach it about this kind of changes.  You could probably make a
pre compare script, and use that on your systems, but I havn't tried to
do that.
