If I recall correctly you can replace the sendmail startup script in 
/System/Library/StartupItems/Sendmail/ with a script that starts
postfix, generally "/path/to/postfix start". I don't recall if
there are Start/Stop/Restart/etc options in that script, I'm sure 
that you can figure it out...

Then just make sure that you have `` MAILSERVER=-YES- '' in
/etc/hostconfig so that sendmail (now postfix) will be automatically
started on boot.

Note, this is from my shabby memory, so I could be mistaken, 
I'm sure a bit of googling should set you straight.
