You probably want to make sure that /etc/rc.conf contains the line:
sendmail_enable="NONE"
then make sure there is a suitable startup script for Postfix in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d

Note that there are multiple ways to configure FreeBSD to use Postfix
instead of sendmail.  I'm describing one of them, others are possible.

The trick is to ensure that the Postfix programs will run and the
sendmail program will never run.
