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.
