There was somewhere a thread containing courier-authlib and AMD64 with -fPIC 
around in the last days. It was called compile vpopmail with -fPIC on 
x86_64. I am not sure if these guys found a solution because on my AMD64 it 
works without any problems (I am using an older version) and because of this 
I didn't follow this thread...
There is one thing which makes me thinking that the mentioned thread _could_ 
be the wrong one for you... This is based on one of the error-messages you 
posted:  /var/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
Did you already install vpopmail? IMHO courier needs some vpopmail-libraries. 
Because of the fact, that I installed the whole thing last time about 1 year 
ago, I currently don't really remember the order of installations. But maybe 
it's a point to have a look for...
Btw: IMHO the ebuilds for qmail, vpopmail and courier provided by Gentoo 
aren't very good. After having some troubles while using them, I installed 
these thing completely by hand.

Maybe you want to ask Jeremy Kitchen from Inter7 for his opinion about the 
mentioned ebuilds.

NB: Jeremy IS using Gentoo and very deep into qmail, vpopmail and these 
things...

Yes.  Jeremy got me using Gentoo as well.  What you learn very quickly
is that ebuilds aren't so great for certian things.  You should avoid
the qmail, vpopmail, etc ebuilds like the plague.  As far as the courier
option, you probably should edit the Makefile, and add -fPIC to the
compiler options.
Good luck!

If you do this without the ebuilds how do you avoid other  items being 
installed such at ssmtp it appears that this is installed by default.  
you have to unmerge it in order to emerge qmail.  how do you keep it 
from adding itself back inthere and potentially causing problems with 
doing an emerge --update --deep --newuse world ?

I appologize for the questions but I am new to gentoo and still trying 
to learn.

Thanks for the help,
Trever

gentoo has a mechanism for 'faking' the installation of a package.

unmerge ssmtp and mark either qmail or ssmtp as installed 
in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
