Something is borken. "qmail" package depends on "qmail-users" package,
which installs required users and groups. Please pkg_delete qmail-users
if you have one, remove qmail* users by hand, cvs update your pkgsrc/mail
and do a "make install" in "qmail". It will pull in the "qmail-users"
package which will install the users. I have no idea why it's failing
for you now, though.
