Why not; it's pretty painless.

If you are at all concerned about security (you seem to be, due to
the sendmail inquiry), you should upgrade to 1.3.1.  There was at
least one very intersting security fix (anon ftp users can use the
ftp rename command).  There are probbaly others see:

http://www.netbsd.org/Releases/formal-1.3/changes-1.3.1.html

for details.

Traditionally, patches might be made for items that are in the tree
but not maintained outside of the NetBSD core; since sendmail is
an outside package, I would expect you'll just have to get it,
build and install it...
