On start of postfix, I get two errors:

This one is not permissions, and needs to be removed, what repercussions does this have on the port process?

Probably nothing. It'll come back next time you reinstall or upgrade the port.

I seem to recall a discussion where it was a tactic used to prevent the deletion of a directory. Since maildrop is a pretty important directory, where do I confirm that this dir can not get deleted on a reinstall or upgrade of the port?

Yes, it prevents the deletion of the directory, by MacPorts, during the destroot phase, which it would otherwise do because the directory in the destroot would otherwise be empty. MacPorts will not delete directories that are not empty.
