Just replace the gamin libraries by the fam ones, for example by
manually
extracting the libraries from the tarball and place them in
/usr/local/lib without actually updating the package database.
It should work fine with KDE, openoffice, I don't know it works well
with programs like courier...

If you want to recompile all stuff just put WITH_FAM_SYSTEM=fam in
/etc/make.conf and rebuild all packages using gamin. You have to rebuild
all ports because fam and gamin can't be installed together.
