It already sounds like the proper modules are already installed under
the site-packages for Python 2.4. The warning that the person is getting
is a quirk in one of getmail's modules and is a known issue. I submitted
a note for ports/UPDATING which has been added as:

20041208:
  AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail
  AUTHOR: question+fbsdports at closedsrc.org

  There is a known quirk when using mail/getmail with Python 2.4
  where the DeprecationWarning is printed regarding the use of
  the 'strict' keyword when a message is being retrieved.

  You can redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null to quelch the warning.

  The quirk may be fixed in a future version of getmail.
