I picked the option to install postfix in the base. It works the same as postfix out of the base. Only one real difference that I've noted: Instead of being in '/usr/local/sbin/' it's in '/usr/sbin/'. There are quite a few other ports I've noticed that see postfix and assume it's in /usr/local/*, so this can be annoying as you are installing other things. On the other hand, every time I've run into it, it's just been a config option or so that needed changing. You just have to be on the lookout for it: lots of things send the occasional email, or can.
