Worked fine for me on a straight 6.0-RELEASE build from scratch:

root at chronos [/usr/ports/mail/exim-sqlite]# make
=> exim-4.61.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/exim.

<snip>

 >>> exim binary built
root at chronos [/usr/ports/mail/exim-sqlite]# make install
<snip>
Don't forget to add 'exim_enable="YES"' to rc.conf(5)
