Indeed you're right. Googling the issue reveal that
postfix-policyd-spf apparently is rather unmaintained and people
suggest using the perl or python versions instead. I do remember
having this issue myself, some 2 years ago and nothing seems to have
happened since then. The Google result also show, that
postfix-policyd-spf doesn't compile with newer versions of libspf2.

Perhaps we should ask to have postfix-policyd-spf removed from the
ports tree altogether?
