just create the files:

/usr/local/lib/mozilla/defaults/isp/US/movemail.rdf
/usr/local/lib/mozilla/defaults/isp/movemail.rdf

and try again. i wish portmaster either didnt bomb when a file was 
missing or there was a knob to allow skipping of files when tarring up 
the old port.  you should be able to use the flag that prevents the port 
backup (-B) and it should work for ya.
