 As far as I know, this isn't really a port problem, but a problem with
 the base software.  I don't know if MH or nmh has ever done any sort of
 "folder" locking or atomic creation of new message files.  I'm pretty
 sure that it's never done any locking on the .mh_sequences files.
 
 You might be able to get a response on the nmh-workers@mhost.com
 mailing list...

This is an nmh issue, rather than a problem with the FreeBSD port.
