The main.cf file has been copied without change so far from a
working version 2.7.1 running under FreeBSD 8.1
When you copy postfix setup files, you must then run
# postfix upgrade-configuration
and
# postfix set-permissions
When you copy indexed files between systems with different versions
of the BDB library, you need to rebuild the files on the new system.
Remove the existing unusable *.db files and postmap the input files
to create new .db files.

I am actually replying to a later suggestion which I somehow managed to
blow away. In that email it was suggested I see if there were other
copies of postfix on the system.
There was indeed an older postfix from ports (?) lying around. So I
removed it, and did a complete re-install from source, all to no avail.
So I looked some more. It turns out that on the 'new' system I'm
building, there's something wrong with $path. So when I would execute
postmap, it was using some old postmap and not finding the new postmap,
even though the new correct postmap is in /usr/local/sbin where it's
supposed to be (but that's another story...)?? When I generate the db
files with the correct postmap, I can start Postfix fine.
Thanks again
