It's there in the port since Pine 4.02A... :)

IMHO we shouldn't auto-generate /usr/local/etc/pine.conf because, well,
it doesn't do anything and it will upset future versions of Pine that will
be installed -- please tell me if I'm wrong...

BTW, I believe there is a pretty big problem with the version of your
port -- libpico.a isn't supposed to be installed anywhere outside the
port's working directory, this library is statically linked into the
resulting executables...
I'm going to post my current version of the port on the list though I
have a problem with it: when I compose a message to myself and immediately
check my mail Pine will crash with a "Received abort signal" -- this is
either a bug or a problem with my configuration (It's not the /var/mail/
permissions, I checked that)...
