Yes; so the real sendmail binary is still installed at 
/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail.  Is that what the PHP is configured to 
execute directly?

/usr/sbin/sendmail is a symlink to mailwrapper, which consults 
/etc/mail/mailer.conf and calls the appropriate binary with options 
depending on how it was called.  I can't remember if installing Exim from 
the port makes the changes to mailer.conf or you are expected to do it by 
hand.
