I would probably install src/usr.sbin/ and recompile cron to use
the -f flag.  The flags are settible in cron/config.h in the source,
FreeBSD uses

#define MAILARGS "%s -FCronDaemon -odi -oem -oi -t"             /*-*/

just change this to

#define MAILARGS "%s -FCronDaemon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -odi -oem -oi -t"
/*-*/
