So, I can perform run the following command without any errors:
sudo nc -l -p 143

And it will listen on port 143.  From there, I type:
telnet localhost 143

And then I can type data and netcat will spit out what it receives.

After ensuring that the port is not still being kept in FIN_WAIT state, I
run the imapd.rc script with start as the only parameter.  i get the the
bind error message.

The port is not in use by any other program.
