There was an unofficial patch that was the only way to do it for Postfix 2.0 
(before the policy service existed).  While that might possibly made sense in 
2003, there's no need for it for a long time.  The SPF project removed 
references to the patches from it's web site years ago.

If the BSD ports packager is including it, then they really ought to update 
their package.  Use a policy server or a milter.  There are several to choose 
from.
