Uninstall Courier-IMAP,  and FAM.  Then rebuild Samba.  Finally
reinstall Courier-IMAP.

The problem is that the net/samba3/Makefile automatically detects
fam/gam on the system, and sets WITH_FAM_SUPPORT, even if FAM_SUPPORT
is off in OPTIONS.

.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/libexec/gam_server)
WANT_FAM_SYSTEM=	gamin
WITH_FAM_SUPPORT=	on
.	undef		WITHOUT_FAM_SUPPORT
.elif exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/fam)
WANT_FAM_SYSTEM=	fam
WITH_FAM_SUPPORT=	on
.	undef		WITHOUT_FAM_SUPPORT
.endif

.if defined(WITH_FAM_SUPPORT) || defined(WANT_FAM_SYSTEM)
USE_FAM=		yes
.endif

It should only detect which FAM_SYSTEM is installed, and should only
test if WITH_FAM_SUPPORT is set.

Also, if the samba configure script has an option to disable fam
support, it should be added as:

.if defined(WITH_FAM_SUPPORT)
USE_FAM=   yes
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --disable-fam
.endif

This would then prevent the configure script from detecting and using
fam/gam on a system that has it installed.

NOTE: The detection of the FAM_SYSTEM, may not be needed.
