What networking/DNS configuration is Pointyhat lacking (or have
sufficiently different to break the socket code inside of postconf)?

It is a purposefully no-networking sandbox jail. What networking
activity postconf wants to run?

Wietse, in a post[1] on the Postfix mailing list, lends further credence
to a suspicion that this issue is particular to pointyhat:

  Postconf opens a socket to determine the mynetworks value (it
  determines the local interfaces and their netmasks).

  I have heard about bizarre errors on FreeBSD (jail) systems where the
  user-land library was out of sync with kernel-land, resulting in data
  structure mis-matches and system calls returning nonsensical results.

That's entirely possible.

Is it a clever idea to hardcode local interfaces on build machine into a package that will then be redistributed to other machines?

Sounds like postfix will have to do without official packages on FreeBSD from now on.
