 I was seeing this problem also.  There is probably an old
 "readme_directory = no" directive in the file which causes the readme
 files to not be installed.
 
 You need to remove /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf then rebuild and
 reinstall.  You will then need to reapply any customizations you made
 to this file.
 
 This is only a user work around.  The build/install/package process is
 inconsistent with respect to using old data from main.cf and probably
 needs some work.
