It is not. From a FreeBSD machine without Exim ever installed, here's the default if locally built from the ports tree:
[/usr/ports/mail/exim]$ make showconfig |grep SUID
SUID=on: Install the exim binary suid root
And the option used for the prebuilt package is the default:
[~]$ pkg rquery "%Ok %Ov %Od" exim|grep SUID
SUID on on
I'm unclear on why the option even exists. It seems crippling.
