No.

Instead of symlinking /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/sendmail,
you could use mailwrapper the way it was designed to work, and leave
the sendmail symlink in /usr/sbin to mailwrapper.  Then, configure
mailwrapper by editing /etc/mail/mailer.conf and pointing mailwrapper
to the proper paths.

The links in /usr/sbin will be overriden and you'll probably end up
using Sendmail from its default system location instead of what you
have now.
