Fine, but have't you got a mesage while installing?

[snip]
To activate sendmail as your default mailer, call the target 'mailer.conf':

$ make mailer.conf

[snip]

And the new version is active.
You can always switch back, if you save or revert the "mailer.conf"

see also:
$ man mailer.conf

Then you been fine, or did the port give you uncorrect information?
