That would work. Make sure you disable cron too, because that calls sendmail.
Removing /usr/sbin/sendmail would work too, and would also guarantee that the
box cannot send mail, as you seem to want.
You should also probably set
NO_SENDMAIL=true   and
NO_MAILWRAPPER=true
in your /etc/make.conf, and remove /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail as well.
