Install the port instead and add --with-mail-gid 65534 to the
CONFIGURE_ARGS in the Makefile, or define it on the command line when
you compile the port:
make CONFIGURE_ARGS="--with-mail-gid 65534" install
That should work, I think.

If it's in the package, it's in the port since the package is built
from the port.
