That is true, and it doesn't. You will notice that
/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail doesn't get updated when make
installworld. What you are seeing in /usr/sbin/sendmail is the
mailwrapper, which is called "sendmail" for compatibility.

What you should do is put:
NO_SENDMAIL=true
NO_MAILWRAPPER=true

in your /etc/make.conf. Then you won't have your existing sendmail (or
other MTA) clobbered.
