But if you do this, you'll loose the configurablity that mailwrapper provides for alternate MTA's via /etc/mail/mailer.conf. Qmail install shouldn't need to install anything into /usr/[sbin,bin] directories with mailwrapper properly configured (see `man mailer.conf` & 'man mailwrapper'). Mailwrapper was designed so that you didn't need to re-create your links to your personal MTA (in /usr/[bin,sbin], when upgrading FreeBSD.
