Why, there're pointers to some POP before SMTP resources off the
popa3d homepage. Please also see past discussions on this mailing
list, in the archives available via MARC (there's a link from the
popa3d homepage, too).

This means that you are not using patch(1) with that patch file
properly. Most likely the number of leading path components to split
is wrong (the "0" in "-p0"). You need to check the patch file and
then use the right -pN setting according to the patch file and the
directory you're running the patch command from.
But also note two things:
1. You've mentioned that this is on FreeBSD. I think that the popa3d
package in FreeBSD ports collection already includes the POP before SMTP
support patch for use with Sendmail.
2. As mentioned on the web site, my recommended way to do POP before
SMTP is via whoson (although it may be even more work to setup).
