[Workaround] Run sendmail on the same box where radiusd is. [Ideal solution] It's completely transparent to sendmail. The authentication calls do the right thing depending on which authentication method is used. [Less than ideal solution] sendmail is hacked to be radius-aware like the recent LDAP support is done.
