That is to be expected. The postfix scripts, that "postinstall" talks  
about, are
in the 'misc' set. The Postfix 2.6.2 distribution in NetBSD-current  
doesn't have
this problem anymore because the scripts are now in "/usr/libexec" and  
not in
"/etc/postfix". As a result the "postfix" target in "postinstall" was  
completely
removed which avoids the above "problem".

No, Postfix will probably still work as the scripts are a in the 'etc'  
set
as well. "postinstall" was only complaining the it couldn't check  
whether
they are up to date.

No, see above.

        Kind regards
