Would that mean a file called
    /etc/mail/pukruppa.net.mc
in my case? Since I get
    # hostname
    pukruppa.net
or do I leave away the .net ?

It's shorthand for 'whatever you call the .mc file you generate your
sendmail.cf from.'  By default on FreeBSD it's named according to
what the hostname(1) command outputs, which should be the fully qualified 
domain name of your machine (ie. pukruppa.net).  You can create the
initial copies of the files by:

  # cd /etc/mail
  # make

which will create files pukruppa.net.mc and pukruppa.net.subit.mc


Edit pukruppa.net.mc to make any changes you want, then type 'make'
to rebuild pukkruppa.net.cf and then 'make install restart' to

just run make to publish it to the running sendmail process -- you only need
'make install restart' when you modify one of the .cf files.

        Cheers

and then process those respectively into pukruppa.net.cf and pukruppa.net.submit.cf copy pukruppa.net.cf to sendmail.cf (amongst other actiosn) and restart sendmail. In general, whenever you do anything to sendmail related config files including stuff like aliases and access and virtusertable, run
