Just to follow up... I was being lame. Cron's were running, just not 
notifying me. I failed to disable sendmail in /etc/make.conf. The 
installworld process dutifully wrote over my symlink, 
/usr/sbin/sendmail, which was pointing to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. 
Since the periodic entries attempt to use sendmail to deliver the 
results of the cron, they failed. I put the symlink back and 
everything is cool again.

Thanks for the help,
jon
