I think the worse problem is when you have to update the base sendmail with 
the ports version..

Come next installworld + mergemaster things can get pretty hairy as you try 
and decide which version to continue using, and if you change how to revert 
so the base system still does what you want etc..

It can be quite annoying to deal with :)
