On a 'normal' linux box you should be able to add DAEMON_CONFIG lines in
sendmail.mc to listen to multiple ports and then generate a new
sendmail.cf with the .mc file. I can't find a sendmail.mc or equivalent
on my RaQ but this has been talked about on the list before so hopefully
searching this list for sendmail.mc will help you uncover something.

Hope this helps.
