The canonical way of converting .mc files to .cf on FreeBSD is to use
the Makefile found in /etc/mail (originally found in /usr/src/etc/mail).
Just edit freebsd.mc and then run:
# make
The file /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README describes that the same
thing can be accomplished with a command like:
# m4 -D_CF_DIR_=${CFDIR}/ ${CFDIR}/m4/cf.m4 config.mc > config.cf
after having set CFDIR to the proper value, of course (in the case of
FreeBSD this would be CFDIR='/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf').

Hopefully both have been answered :)
