I'd appreciate informative message subjects in the future.  Thanks.

Yes, you do.  You need to edit params.h here:

/*
 * Your mail spool directory. Note: only local (non-NFS) mode 775 mail
 * spools are currently supported.
 *
 * #undef this for qmail-style $HOME/Mailbox mailboxes.
 */
#define MAIL_SPOOL_PATH                 "/var/mail"

You change the "#define ..." to "#undef MAIL_SPOOL_PATH".

You can do that either with the popa3d in the OpenBSD base tree, or
you can download popa3d off its homepage and build a separate copy.
