I've personally switched from qmail to postfix on all of my mail servers (about 12 of them). The latest versions of postfix give me better performance, and I spend about 90% less time administering the boxes now. Are you using the qmail-pop3d program? This should not ever hang since it's not really a daemon that runs all the time. It's meant to be started with the tcpserver program from the ucp-tcp (or something like that) from http://cr.yp.to I suggest taking a look at postfix though. It has many more features than qmail, better performance (it hits the disk about 1/3 as much), better logging, and administration can all be done with the "postconf" command.
