You shouldn't need daemontools and the svscan utility (though it is useful for a number of reasons). The qmail port should have installed a symlink in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail.sh pointing to /var/qmail/rc. This link is broken by default, but by moving or copying a file from the /var/qmail/boot directory to this location, the link should resolve and the script executed at startup. The scripts are non-rcng so you shouldn't need anything in /etc/rc.conf to make things work. You may need to edit the startup script /var/qmail/rc though. I would, however, recomend that you install daemontools also. This would require a little more initial work on your part, but is far easier to maintain, and makes sure that qmail keep running.
