I'd like to point out that, at this time, 99.999% of all FreeBSD home users are as technically competent as any FreeBSD corporate user. The person who uses FreeBSD at home is not likely to have any serious conceptual problems with apache or sendmail config file. I don't see FreeBSD migrating into the population of "I don't understand apache.conf" anytime soon. (And I think that the number of people who thoroughly understand sendmail.cf is so small that it's not worth targeting them). Right now, I think that anyone who is going to use FreeBSD at home is capable of ignoring anything in the Handbook that doesn't apply to them. If at some point at the future our target audience changes, splitting up the handbook might make some sense, but I don't think that time is now.
