Thank you, this answers my question very nicely.

A patch to fix PR #20852 can be found at
http://netbsd.math.orst.edu/pkgsrc/sendmail.diff

All this patch does is avoid directly installing files in the system
configuration directory.  It does not change where the sendmail package is
going to look for configuration files.

I think this fix is sufficient to close the PR.  What do you think?
