From The ChangeLog:

20120225
        [...]
	FreeBSD9 is now a supported platform. Files: makedefs,
	util/sys_defs.h.

Try postfix-2.10_pre versions or wait for the next 2.9 release.

[Comment 2 Claudio Di Martino 2012-06-19 14:07:26 UTC]

I did a quick workaround cloning the FREEBSD8 lines in makedefs script just to make it compile. Should I use the masked 2.10_pre or is it safe to stick with my hacked one?

Created attachment 315761 [details, diff]

Upstream patch is attached if you want to compare it with your workaround.

Up to you.  Both should be OK.  If you do not want to upgrade frequently, stick with 2.9.x.

Ok, I created an interim patch to my ebuild for 2.9.3.
Many thanks

Would you mind if I commit and apply the patch for -2.9.3?

No, please go ahead.  I am on vacation.  Otherwise, I could have done it myself.
