Okay, let me see if I am following you correctly.

This is the "/etc/mail/mailer.conf" file:

# $FreeBSD: head/etc/mail/mailer.conf 93858 2002-04-05 04:25:14Z
gshapiro $ #
# Execute the "real" sendmail program,
named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail #
sendmail	/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
send-mail	/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
mailq		/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
newaliases	/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
hoststat	/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
purgestat	/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail

And this is the "/usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf" file:
#
# Execute the Postfix sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
#
sendmail	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
send-mail	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq		/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
newaliases	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail

So, it is obvious that the port modified the
"/usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf" file. Are you impling that I should
replace the "/etc/mail/mailer.conf" file with the
"/usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf" file?
