Thank you for porting this! I'm trying it and so far it seems to
work.

There's only one thing that I would like to report, as I think it's
an error. In the default config, in the filters section, there are
some paths that I don't expect:

subject,~^\[PATCH=awk -f /usr/ports/pobj/aerc-0.3.0/fake-amd64/usr/local/share/aerc/filters/hldiff
#text/html=/usr/ports/pobj/aerc-0.3.0/fake-amd64/usr/local/share/aerc/filters/html
text/*=awk -f /usr/ports/pobj/aerc-0.3.0/fake-amd64/usr/local/share/aerc/filters/plaintext

In the port makefile there is a rule to generate aerc.conf that use
sed to replace @SHAREDDIR@ to $SHAREDDIR. I tried to add
SHAREDDIR=/usr/local/share/aerc to MAKE_FLAGS but it didn't work.

(this on a updated -current on amd64)
