The Postfix port installs a 'sendmail' interface that MUA's will use to send
mail to Postfix.  This wrapper understands many Sendmail options, and I used
to run Postfix when I was trying it out with this in my /etc/rc.conf:

	sendmail_enable="yes"
	sendmail_program="/path/to/postfix/wrapper/of/sendmail"
	sendmail_flags="-bd -q5m"

It all worked like a charm.
