I agree with you, logically I would say that perhaps this should go in 
the Postfix/exim/(insert favorite MTA here) ports.  Postfix already asks 
you if you want to update your /etc/mail/mailer.conf and it wouldn't be 
much more effort to add the make.conf change, etc. as well.

Might be a good patch to create/suggest to the maintainers.

Even a verbose message to the console on 'make install' would be a good 
start.

cheers,
Gabriel
