The mail queue for my Postfix installation is /var/spool/postfix instead of /var/spool/mail.

The mail queue doesn't matter to maildrop, and /var/spool/mail has never been used for a queue (sendmail uses /var/spool/mqueue).

I get the message:

"checking for qmail-inject... no checking mail transport agent... /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi checking location of system mailboxes... configure: error: Cannot determine default mailbox configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for maildrop"

...is a hint the path is wrong.

How can I tell courier-maildrop to use /var/spool/postfix for the mail queue directory?

You shouldn't. You need to tell maildrop where the mailboxes are supposed to be, not where the queue is.
