I seem to remember that you can start courier's imapd 
(/usr/ports/mail/courier-imap) from a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, 
without having to use inetd.  Presumably, starting it directly from 
the command line would work as well(?).  Please note, however, that 
it has been a while since I used it, so you may want to investigate 
it further before going there.
