/var/qmail is not the very-right place for binaries. the prohibition of
the binary form effectively left qmail out of many distributions. the
distributions will change these paths, so, why do not put them
configurable at ./configure?

Which will break every program that manages qmail, including vpopmail. I
believe the fact that all qmail installations are the same is one of its
greatest strengths.
In the document that releases qmail to the public Dr. Bernstein
specifically asks people not to do that. "This does not mean that
modifications are encouraged! Please take time to ensure that your
distribution of qmail supports exactly the same interface as everyone
else's. In particular, if you move files, please set up symbolic links
from the original locations, so that you don't frivolously break scripts
that work everywhere else."
