The sendmail binaries from SA-03:04 (on ftp.freebsd.org) are the same
binaries you would get if you CVSup'd on the security branch and rebuilt.
So that's correct -- the version number does not change.

The patch added a new log message which you can check for. Do
`strings /path/to/sendmail | grep Dropped'.

  % strings ./sendmail-4.6-i386-crypto.bin| grep Dropped
  Dropped invalid comments from header address
