I know it looks that way but actually no, if postfix is installed then
that is postfix.  The Sendmail in base is in /usr/sbin/sendmail
instead.  Since it is /usr/local/sbin/sendmail that looks like the
postfix install to me.

When postfix is installed it installs the sendmail binary as
/usr/local/sbin/sendmail and so the above is actually referring to
postfix.

    rwp@madness:~$ pkg info -l postfix | grep bin/sendmail
	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
