First of all, that's not a valid use of RUN_DEPENDS. That looks like
stuff that should be added to CONFIGURE_ARGS.

Try:

.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-delivery-agent=${LOCALBASE}/cyrus/bin/deliver \
		 -e -r $${sender} -m $${extension} $${user} $$u
.include <bsd.port.post.mk>

or something to that effect.
