Pine tries to /usr/ucb/rsh the mailserver (with the command
/etc/rimapd). If that fails, pine connects to the imap-port insted.
(thus requiering a username and password).

Set up your account, so you can login without a password
(fx. a .rhosts - file in your homedirectory on the mailserver).
Then pine's try with rsh will succeed and you won't have to enter
username/password.
