Under FreeBSD the existing port is way out of date (version 1.8 or something like that), so the simple (and I think proper) approach I use is to:
1. download the distro from the "official" xmail site and compile it 2. put a start/stop script at /usr/local/etc/rc.d (this may differ for netBSD or openBSD) in case this is helpful. It may be to *BSD users who generally anticipate an up-to-date port. I have been considering maintaining a port for FreeBSD but haven't gotten a sensible time block together yet.
