I agree with this comment.  I've only ever configured one mail server
and usually just forward mail from all machines onto the central
server.

Since October I have been running a hacked version of mini_sendmail
1.3.1.  It is written by Jef Poskanzer with a BSD licence.  It's
primarily intended to run in a chroot'ed environment to feed mail back
into the same machine.  But it works well as a send-only MTA.  It has
IP6 support and its only deficiency is that it doesn't handle local
mail.

mini_sendmail could serve as the base for a light-weight, forward-only
MTA which would allow sendmail, postfix, etc to be pushed into pkgsrc.
