Put the following in /etc/rc.conf:

sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

You can find the defaults in /etc/defaults/rc.conf:

blee at eclipse ~ $ egrep 'sendmail.*enable' /etc/defaults/rc.conf 
sendmail_enable="NO"    # Run the sendmail inbound daemon (YES/NO).
sendmail_submit_enable="YES"    # Start a localhost-only MTA for mail submission
sendmail_outbound_enable="YES"  # Dequeue stuck mail (YES/NO).
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck clientmqueue mail (YES/NO).
