I too have been updating my systems by updating and building from source. 
To recompile and install sendmail from the /usr/src tree you can run these 
commands.

cd /usr/src/lib/libsm; make clean; make obj; make depend; make
cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil; make clean; make obj; make depend; make
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail; make clean; make obj; make depend; make; make install

This procedure will follow all the /etc/make.conf arguments.

I hope this helps.
