I would recommend to use Dovecot 2.0 which you can find in
"pkgsrc/mail/dovecot2".

You don't need that. NetBSD includes PAM.

Modifying "Makefile" is the wrong way, and apparently doesn't work anyway.

You only need to active the "pam" option by adding this to "/etc/mk.conf":

        PKG_OPTIONS.dovecot+=   pam

If you run "make show-options" in "pkgsrc/mail/dovecot" (or better in
"pkgsrc/mail/dovecot2") it list the options.

        Kind regards
