As far as I can see you can set sendmail_enable="NONE" in /etc/rc.conf and copy /etc/rc.sendmail to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zzz.sendmail (or whatever else is the last filename when sorted alphabetically) and modify it a little bit since you have to reset sendmail_enable in this script to start sendmail in the right way.
