 The mail/dovecot2 port is (IMO) broken, and should eventually be
 fixed. I've just shared a (temporary) solution that worked for me. We
 have a dedicated VM where we incrementally updating our packages using
 portmaster, rebuilding the repo using 'pkg repo' and then deploying
 the resulting packages using pkgng on a number of production machines,
 so (temporarily) removing dovecot2-pigeonhole while rebuilding
 dovecot2 was acceptable for us. Alternatively, you can try to do the
 following before the upgrade, but I haven't checked this solution
 myself:
 
 # rm -r /usr/local/share/doc/dovecot
 # rm -r /usr/local/share/examples/dovecot
 
 When you do this, make sure you upgrade mail/dovecot2 first before
 upgrading mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole.
