1) I configured PAM as shown 2) Authdaemond starts ok but I'm confused why 'authpwd' is not shown in the authdeamondrc file as a valid authentication module.

authpwd is not built if PAM exists on your system. In this case you don't need authpwd. Make sure /etc/pam.conf is configured correctly and configure authdaemon to use the authpam module.

4) TROUBLE: In 'test child process termination' it says 'configure Courier for local account authentication', but sadly leaves out how to do this.

Make sure /etc/pam.conf is configured correctly and configure authdaemon to use the authpam module.

5) TROUBLE: after 'courier start' there is only one lonely courierd process, and maillog shows the following:

As noted in courier(8), "courier start" only starts the Courier scheduling engine. There are numerous additional daemons (imapd, esmtpd, etc.) that must also be started for a properly-running Courier installation. The Courier port should install a startup script into /usr/local/etc. Use it.

The 'permission denied' error clearly kills the whole startup process but it unfortunately insufficient: what permission was denied, and more importantly, to what?

Don't know, but a vanilla "make install" sets all the appropriate permissions correctly. I build and install Courier manually (I don't use the port) so I can't tell you if it did something wrong.
