sendmail/cf/README says:

                                        [/etc/mail/service.switch] The file

Sendmail uses the native service switch. Or maybe enable ServiceSwitchFile
in your sendmail config.

NetBSD uses /etc/nsswitch.conf. See the nsswitch.conf(5) manual page.

As for aliases, maybe try something like:
O AliasFile=files:/etc/mail/aliases

Look at the READMEs and the sendmail/doc/op/op.me about DaemonPortOptions
(and use Addr=x.x.x.x) and DAEMON_OPTIONS.

Something like:

define(`confDAEMON_OPTIONS', `Addr=ip.add.re.ss')

Good luck,
