As per comments in /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/mail-mta/qmail/files/run-qmailpop3d
it suggest I lodge a bug if I have a good reason for changing this file on a
production system.
Well I have changed this file to use a sslserver (from sys-apps/ucspi-ssl) so
that pop can be delivered over ssl.
Attached is the patch required to make this work.
On initial looks, i'm going to say that I don't like this patch.
110/tcp needs to provide POP3, and USE=ssl allows STARTTLS over that.
Your patch would take away the regular 110/tcp service, and only provide
995/tcp POP3S.
Have a variant named 'pop3ds' that inherit conf-pop3d, and qmail-pop3d/run to
provide a seperate service.

wasn't intended to be comprehensive.

wow - didn't know that was a POP command. Was thinking it was just smtp. Maybe
there is a similar command.

A separate server sounds like a better option. Thanks Robin.
Robin - are you interested in a patch to the ebuild that provides this
additional pop3s service?
url contains a moderatly good run script.
