The key here is to add the --with-ioloop=poll configuration option.  I 
used these options to configure (over and above whatever omnios-build 
adds by default):

     --sysconfdir=/etc
     --localstatedir=/var
     --mandir=$PREFIX/man
     --enable-static=no
     --with-ioloop=poll
     --with-gssapi=plugin
     --without-ldap
     --with-sql=plugin
     --with-sqlite
     --with-zlib
     --with-bzlib
     --without-libwrap
     --with-ssl=openssl

The alternative to not using --with-ioloop=poll is to change the 
dovecot configuation not to use chroot since it is chroot which is 
breaking epoll_create().  I decided that chroot is good.
