I saw this, and I think it's a freebsd-port problem...

I solved this by changing dovecot's uid and gid to 143, I think the
startup script will fix permissions...
(except /var/run/dovecot/login/ssl-parameters.dat or
/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat, I don't remember...)

Otherwise it should work with:
# portupgrade -M"DOVECOT_UID=1003 DOVECOT_GID=1003" dovecot
