Would someone help me out here just a bit.  I am Sooo, confused!
Any pointers or documents that explain some of this would be greatly
appreciated..
TIA,,

Here's where I am in the INSTALL.maildir document.
Here's how to set up qmail to use maildir for your incoming mail:
<**** This Command does not work
<**** Neither does maildirmake $HOME/Maildir, although the command
maildirmake is there.
<**** What is the deal with the "%" as the first portion of the command?

   % maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
   % echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail

Make sure you include the trailing slash on Maildir/.

The system administrator can set up Maildir as the default for everybody
by creating a maildir in the new-user template directory and replacing
./Mailbox with ./Maildir/ in /var/qmail/rc.
<******** maildir in the new-user template??  create directory called
maildir?
<******** where is the new-user template directory on FreeBSD? What is the
new-user <******** template file called by default?

Until your MUA supports maildir, you'll probably want to convert maildir
format to (gaaack) mbox format. I've supplied a maildir2mbox utility
that does the trick, along with some tiny qail and elq and pinq wrappers
that call maildir2mbox before calling Mail or elm or pine.
<***** Does mail(MUA), I think binmail, support maildir?  This is what came
default on <***** the bare system load. How do you implement maildir2mbox
and (gaaack)?
