This is what you want:
# default: on
# Pop3 Service
service pop3
{
flags = NAMEINARGS REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/lib/popper
server_args = qpopper -s
disable = no
}
This is all clearly spelled out in the thorough man page for
xinetd.conf(5).
Note that chkconfig(8) knows how to handle the files in /etc/xinetd.d,
so once you've created the entry, you should use chkconfig to
enable/disable qpopper, instead of editing /etc/xinetd.conf/pop3
directly.
