My experience has been such:  I use "exim" (www.exim.org) for an mta.  I 
move the sendmail in its original location to sendmail.orig and put a soft 
link to my exim executable.  I have not had trouble building world though I 
don't do it much.  I do have to redo my link after a build world.  If I put 
a NO in the sendmail in rc.conf I do not get any sendmail daemon running.
