An approach the port (or other software) could use is fetch sendmail, bind, whatever, off the Net, as ports normally do, and extract them in the /usr/src/contrib directory. I've done this before with cvs and ipfilter. Just extract sendmail in /usr/src/contrib and your next make world would pick it up, assuming you've set up cvsup correctly.
