I do agree, that the ebuilds are not always very useful. I had edited the build to eliminate the changes from Maildir to .maildir. It is accomplished through a simple sed command across the vpopmail source before compiling.
I interrupted this process by commenting it out and the build itself should be operating as normal from source, which would be Maildir. You do raise a good point, I wish Gentoo would get that part of it right. Deviating from the standards are not a good idea.
