The default behaviour hasn't changed, pw(8) do creates those files:

# cat /etc/pw.conf
# pw useradd testuser -m
# ls -l /var/mail/testuser 
-rw-------  1 testuser  testuser  0 Mar 19 21:45 /var/mail/testuser
# pw userdel testuser -r
# ls -l /var/mail/testuser
ls: /var/mail/testuser: No such file or directory
# printf "createmailbox\tno\n" >> /etc/pw.conf
# pw useradd testuser -m
# ls -l /var/mail/testuser
ls: /var/mail/testuser: No such file or directory
