The recent change of the USE_FAM default was done without proper testing - others have already reported problems with gamin, especially in the case of courier-imap. You can however avoid the pkgdb -F dance (if you compile from ports): Set WITH_FAM_SYSTEM=fam in /etc/make.conf - this will change the default back to fam.
