I think you will find that this only happens with PHP.  From memory PHP
*needs* some of the headers (or something like that) that are installed
with uw-imap and these do not come with courier-imap.

I've come across this myself and wondered the same thing.

I did try this:
        emerge php
        emerge unmerge uw-imap php
        emerge courier-imap
        emerge --nodeps php
and PHP failed to build.
