Qpopper should be run as an xinetd service and not as a standalone.
Here's your /etc/xinetd.d/pop3 file.

# qpopper config file for xinetd
service pop3
{
        flags       = REUSE NAMEINARGS
        socket_type = stream
        protocol    = tcp
        wait        = no
        user        = root
        server      = /usr/sbin/in.qpopper
        server_args = in.qpopper -s
        # use this line once you create your certificate to enable STLS
        # server_args = in.qpopper -s -l 1 -f /etc/mail/qpopper.conf
}

When you want things to hapen at boot time you can usually add them to 
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

Create your own ~/.xinitrc
