Personally, I go with untaring the install sets (minus {x,etc.tgz}, then
run etcupdate(8) which takes care of mailer.conf among others. There are
complaints about postinstall purging sendmail belongings too aggressive,
though, and I share them.

I've had bad experience with using sysinst for updates years ago, and have
avoided it for the purpose, since.
