Viren,

It seems you configured the port to install with (experimental) GnuTLS 
support. The GnuTLS port currently doesn't contain a couple of required 
entry points. The compile without GnuTLS, change to the port directory 
and issue the command "make config", uncheck GNUTLS, and proceed as 
normal. Alternately, delete the /var/db/ports/dovecot directory and its 
contents.

On a related note, if you'd rather have dovecot-0.99.11, apply this patch:
