I grappled with this problem a little bit today, where FreeBSD kept insisting on installing vpopmail from other ports even though it was already installed. The port install would fail, however, because FreeBSD won't install over another package without making "reinstall". I couldn't figure out why it thought vpopmail was not installed until I froze the screen when it was checking, and I noticed that it looks for /usr/local/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a. Since I install vpopmail to /home/vpopmail, that file was in /home/vpopmail/lib/ !
I just did:
mkdir -p /usr/local/vpopmail/lib
ln -s /home/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a /usr/local/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a
and the problem went away.
