Postfix needs, among others:

    POSIX, including fork(), pipe(), set*id()
    ANSI C
    Berkeley sockets for TCP
    Berkeley sockets for local-only IPC
    named pipes
    select() that works on pipes, TCP sockets, local IPC sockets
    ftruncate(), fsync()
    inode numbers that do not change when a file is renamed

Future versions also need

    ability to send a TCP endpoint to another process

I would suggest to install FreeBSD or Linux instead. It will be
less trouble that way.
