If you read further down in the pkg-message file it says this:

Alternatively to the above settings, you can enable postfix to start 
with
the other local services, for example, after your database server 
starts if
you need it to be running for postfix.  To do this, set in your rc.conf 
file:

sendmail_enable="NONE"

Then make the following symbolic link:

cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/postfix postfix.sh



perhaps this is what it should be for 5.x freebsd.  I'll update the 
commentary to not that this is what you really want to do.  this is 
what I do...
