 On my 3.1 systems, /usr/lib/postfix and /usr/pkg/libexec/postfix are
directories.

 I think the programs you are referring to are /usr/sbin/postfix and
 /usr/pkg/sbin/postfix, respectively.

To make sure i get the correct "postfix" executable, the default path for
root on my systems has /usr/pkg/sbin before /usr/sbin.

 root's shell config files in /root by default.  Depending on the shell
you use for root, it'll be .profile or .cshrc, or maybe something else.
See the man page for root's shell.  (E.g. "man sh" or "man csh".)  You can
determine root shell by doing "finger root".

You may also want to create /etc/rc.conf.d/postfix with the following
contents:

required_files='/usr/pkg/etc/postfix/main.cf'
start_cmd='/usr/pkg/sbin/postfix start'
stop_cmd='/usr/pkg/sbin/postfix stop'
reload_cmd='/usr/pkg/sbin/postfix reload'

 It sounds like /etc/rc.d/postfix is working correctly, so you
probably already have that in place.
