DragonFly BSD is very much alive and is building Exim just fine:
https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DeltaPorts/blob/master/ports/mail/exim/STATUS
The DragonFly Exim port (aka. DPort) has been updated 14 days ago:
https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DPorts/blob/master/mail/exim/Makefile
Regarding DPorts:
DPorts is DragonFly's own third-party software build system. It is based
on FreeBSD's Ports Collection. Differences between ports and DPorts are
intentionally kept to a minimum, both to maintain familiarity for mutual
users of both operating systems and also to leverage the tremendous
amount of work the FreeBSD contributors put into ports. DPorts can and
does feature ports unique to DragonFly, so it's truly a native system.
So as long as it works on FreeBSD, it will also likely work on
DragonFly.
