This seems to be an issue with either fam or gamin as currently present in 
ports tree. I do not understand everything in detail, one does not link (just 
as you showed), the second one builds but does not run (imapd dumps core, so 
no usable imap server). If someone with more fam/gamin knowledge could help 
here, it would be great. As a temporary workaround, you could comment out 
line in Makefile telling WITH_FAM= YES (or something similar is there) and be 
just fine, loosing ENHANCED IDLE support, however. You could even update this 
way to 0.53.3, by the way. I did not try to put this update into PR yet 
exactly due this fam/gamin issue.
Regards,
Milan
