No such luck. When IPv6 support is not compiled into the kernel, Exim
fails to bind and listen to the IPv4 port:
2001-06-12 19:13:30 socket bind() to port 25 for address (any) failed: Invalid argument: waiting before trying again
While IPv6 support is compiled into the FreeBSD kernel by default these
days, there are still a _lot_ of people who compile custom kernels
without it. So the FreeBSD package for Exim can't go out with IPv6
support compiled in by default.
However, I'll add a hook so that you can build the port with IPv6 support
as follows:
cd /path/to/ports/mail/exim
make -DWITH_IPV6
