there's no maintainer for the mail/alpine port. ideally send a diff
to the port with brief details about what it does (no need for a big
long commentary explaining all the stages of how it was worked out)
and hopefully someone interested in the port will take a look.

quick instructions to update patches in the port with your changes,

cd /usr/ports/mail/alpine
make patch
cd `make show=WRKSRC`
(if you want to edit a file that hasn't been patched before, cp file 
file.orig.port)
edit as necessary
cd -
make update-patches
(if you edited a file that hasn't been patched before, cvs add 
patches/patch-whatever)
cvs diff -uNp > /tmp/alpine.diff
