The parts of Dovecot needed by Postfix are independent of all of the options provided by the mail/dovecot2 port because Postfix literally only needs the headers that define the dovecot-auth socket protocol. As long as the version matches exactly, a custom build of dovecot2 will drop in place of the stock dovecot2 without recompiling postfix.
