If it *needs* sockets then you can install net/php-sockets.  However, if 
it's a requirement then it should be listed as a dependency and 
installed when you install roundcube, clearly this isn't happening.

I've got a reminder in my inbox about an update to roundcube so I'll 
look at the two issues you have mentioned here and see what I can fix in 
the package.

In the meanwhile install net/php-sockets and modify your php.ini to add 
the sockets extension and it should at least get you there . . . or wait 
a few days till I update the package in HEAD with the right fix :)
