Depends on your email requirements.  For a typical end user site
handling a single domain it is completely painless.  If you're an
ISP or otherwise involved with handling several domains, have lots
of secondary MX's, anti-spam rules etc.. you'll need to spend some
time working out a new sendmail.cf.

8.9 will build out of the box and if you need to you can generate
a new .cf in the cf/cf directory and test it while leaving your
current setup intact.

Just sendmail and newaliases if you don't test thouroughly before
final install.
