FreeBSD has shipped with mailwrapper(8), which facilitates the use of
drop-in replacements for sendmail. Retire exim.sh in favour of the
mailwrapper(8) approach.

Replace it with a patch against the distribution configure.default,
which changes as little as possible so that folks who are accustomed to
Exim on other platforms will not be astonished.
Install the file as configure.default instead of configure.sample, since
it's as close as damnit to the default Exim configuration file.
The only arguably unnecessary deviation from the default is:
* Accept SMTP relay from the loopback IP address. Too many applications
require this, and the window of abuse is arguably negligible.
``info exim'' would fail to descend into any of the 3 Exim info files
from the dir top branch.
While we're at it, add a pkg-message that
1) Points to the documentation
2) Explains how to get Exim started
Note! I have fixed a bogon from previous versions where I was putting the
executables in $(PREFIX)/bin. They now go in $(PREFIX)/sbin, so make
sure your previous binaries have been properly removed!
