wouldn't it be possible to change this whilst editing
<params.h> within the source? I just downloaded popa3d
and it shows:

/*
  * The address and port to listen on.
  */
#define DAEMON_ADDR         "0.0.0.0"   /* INADDR_ANY */
#define DAEMON_PORT         110

but I have to mention that I dunno if the port can handle this. :/ must 
check first
But at least it should be possible to bind popa3d to a specific interface.
