What do you mean "non service-interrupting strategy"? If you have already POP3 installed and running, there is good chance that installing IMAP will install another POP3 and at some stage it may create sirvice disturbances. > 1) Can somebody please recommend a good FAQ about how-to get IMAP > running my FreeBSD machine?

Your IMAP client will connect to your IMAP server and retreive emails from your mailbox. IMAP also allows you to retreive mails from mail folders. > 4) I dont completely understand how local mail delivery will > change is there a good tutorial about this subject? IMAP does not interract with mail delivery. Once mail is delivered into your mailbox, IMAP allows you to read it.
