You can edit authdaemonrc for that.

But, for not making the things longer, you may:

- edit pkg-descr-base:
 + courier-authlib-base can't read /etc/passwd,
   you need courier-authlib-pam for that.
 + you _really_ need install an authentication module,
   this is not an optional step.

Also, I think an UPDATING entry must be done pointing that ports that 
depends on this, must need BUILD_DEPENDS on courier-authlib-base and 
RUN_DEPENDS on courier-authlib-pam to be able of reading system passwd.
