Are you sure that you have selected Sendmail in `make config' stage?

Check that you have the same output (and if it's indeed the same, then
there's really something wrong with args passed to configure by port):

[/usr/ports/mail/mailman]> make -V WITH_SENDMAIL
true
[/usr/ports/mail/mailman]> make -V MAIL_GID
mailnull
[/usr/ports/mail/mailman]> make -V CONFIGURE_ARGS
--prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.5
--with-username=mailman  --with-groupname=mailman
--with-mail-gid=mailnull --with-cgi-gid=www
