I'm building maildrop 2.0.2 from source on a FreeBSD 6.0 installation and configure is failing to locate pcre.h.

Pcre was already installed when I installed PHP but I dutifully downloaded pcre 6.6 and re-built and installed it without issue. I can actually see pcre.h in /usr/local/include but the configure script just keeps failing. Anyone got any clues?

/usr/local/include must not be in your compiler's default search path.

You will need to use CPPFLAGS (and probably LDFLAGS) to correctly specify the search path for your header and libraries.

You really should not download and install random packages manually, without using your system package management facilities.

http://www.courier-mta.org/FAQ.html gives some examples of using CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and other environment variables.
