Today I updated sendmail via yum and received a warning that
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc was created as /etc/mail/sendmail.mc.rpmnew.

(A few other files had the same warning, but they are created from the
.mc file so I'm not too concerned.)

I gather this happens because I changed the sendmail.mc file so the
update process doesn't want to wipe out my changes.

Yes! 

Are there any tools to compare/apply the differences between the rpmnew
version and my current version? Or, do I have to do something like run
diff and then go through all the changes one by one manually?

$ diff file1 file2
will do the job.

PS. Answering to your subject. just do nothing if you have changed your configuration files and the application runs for you just let it that way.
