Create /etc/mk.conf by hand.  (644 root/wheel seems to work).

Add contents as required.

Mine just has

PIPE=-pipe

(Due to some historical reason, i.e. I forget why I put that in there.)

Re-compiling sendmail probably translates to
	# cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail
	# make clean
	# make obj
	# make
	# make install

Whether the plain make will catch the presence of sasl and grok
all your desires I don't know.  One would *think so*, but...

Disclaimer: I've not built sendmail with sasl, my comments are
all 'off the cuff'.
