 Try uninstalling mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole before rebuilding the
 mail/dovecot2. It should fix the problem. After the mail/dovecot2 you
 should be able to reinstall mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole again without
 problem.
 
 As to the root cause of the problem, it is this line in the
 mail/dovecot2/pkg-plist:
 
 %%PORTDOCS%%@dirrmtry %%DOCSDIR%%
 
 What happens is (as far as I understand) it picks everything that is
 placed in the /usr/local/share/doc/dovecot and tries to put it into
 the package. If you build dovecot2 for the first time it what it is
 expected to do. But if you are rebuilding the dovecot2 on a system
 that has dovecot2-pigeonhole installed already, it picks up files
 installed by the dovecot2-pigeonhole as well, and that's what leads to
 a reported problem.
 
 Best regards,
 Andriy.
