For some reason I have had similar issues with sendmail.  Cvsup did not  
get a couple of files and so I had problems like you.  I tried  
different servers and rm -rf /usr/src/etc/* and nothing helped.  I had  
to go to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/sendmail/ and  
put the files on my drive by hand.  After that it worked fine.
