Hmmm replace the /etc/mailer.conf file with another.
For example i have in mine:

sendmail /usr/pkg/libexec/postfix/sendmail
send-mail /usr/pkg/libexec/postfix/sendmail
mailq /usr/pkg/libexec/postfix/sendmail
newaliases /usr/pkg/libexec/postfix/sendmail

Just fill in the correct directories in your case.
For the rest you can edit the rc.conf in /etc and tell sendmail to act.
Instead of sendmail, postfix is started. Also make sure the nessecary
files are in /etc/postfix/ Then it should work.
Bye,

Reinoud.
