I'm no sendmail expert but on newer RedHat packages I've noticed this 
option in /etc/sendmail.cf
	O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA

Modifing that seems to change which port and interface sendmail will 
listen to.

May I take the opportunity to recomend a saner mail server than sendmail ?
Qmail, exim and postfix are all easier to setup and maintain, and have a 
shorter history of security and bug fixes.
