The recommened way to activate the ports is very simple:
$ cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail && make clean install
$ cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail && make mailer.conf

No trouble.



Why do you want to overwrite the base ...?

1- This will clobber your mailwrapper tools.
$ man mailer.conf

2- This will leave still old binaries in the system.
e.g.  /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail

3- Ther is no support to overite base with mailwrapper present.

4- To really install it in base, you must
add "NO_MAILWRAPPER=true" in your /etc/make.conf
$ rm -f /etc/mail/mailer.conf
$ cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail && make clean install

Which is the comability mode for FreeBSD 2.8.x and FreeBSD 3.x releases.

kind regards Dirk
