I think the currently available periodic scripts are tailored for a default installation; that is, they make it so a novice user reaps all the benefits of the software installed with the system (with Sendmail as the default MTA) with no need to tweak any knobs. Administrators who install other MTA's should arguably be prepared to tweak the system startup scripts a bit :) This is just my opinion, it should not be taken for the stance of the FreeBSD Project or something; I see the current situation as a good balance between ease for newcomers and easily-tweaked knobs for admins who take the time to tailor the system to their liking.
