That doesn't appear to be the issue.  Apparently I was wrong in my 
earlier assessment.  You cannot build imap-uw in the way that I want by 
putting CREATEPROTO=mbxproto in the make line.  It works on OSX but not 
on FreeBSD.

At this point, I think its just easier for me to build it by myself 
without the port, which I didn't want to do.  It would be nice if the 
port had a build option to make mbx format mailboxes the default, since 
they are far better, but the port maintainer hasn't responded to any 
email from me so I guess its not going to happen.
