You sound a little confused. .qmail files give delivery directions.
They're *always* files. They can direct delivery to a mailbox--which
can be either a file (mbox) or directory (maildir). If you want to
deliver to a maildir, specify the name of the maildir in the .qmail
file, e.g.:
./postmaster/
and create the maildir using maildirmake:
/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake ./postmaster
and make it be owned by the right user:
chown -R alias ~alias/postmaster
-Dave
