I think that a possible problem is in base postfix vs pkgsrc postfix,
i.e.:

 - /etc/mailer.conf was adjusted to use pkgsrc postfix
 - /etc/postfix/ is probably only honored by base postfix, not pkgsrc
   postfix. Configuration files for the latter should be under
   /usr/pkg/etc instead
 - /etc/rc.d/postfix will start base postfix, not pkgsrc one

So I think that if you prefer to use pkgsrc postfix the following will
be needed:

 - adjust configuration files in /usr/pkg/etc
 - overwrite /etc/rc.d/postfix with /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/postfix
