My guess is that you don't need to remove sendmail and postfix.

read mailer.conf(5)
back up /etc/mailer.conf
copy LOCALBASE/share/examples/postfix/mailer.conf to /etc
edit postfix configuration files in PKG_SYSCONFDIR
edit your shell profile
  put LOCALBASE/bin,sbin before /usr/bin,sbin in PATH
see pkgsrc/mail/postfix/MESSAGE.NetBSD


If you do need to remove sendmail and postfix, you will need the NetBSD
sources.  This assumes you are using NetBSD 3.0.

$ srcdir=/usr/src
$ files=$(find $srcdir/distrib/sets/lists -type f -printx |\
  xargs grep -e sendmail -e postfix | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -f 1)
$ echo "$a" | cksum

$ cd / && rm $files
