is there any way to run ipopd or similar without using inetd, ie /etc/init.d/ipopd?

No - it was compiled to run as a daemon under xinetd. A good POP3 server is qpopper. You can compile it to run as a stand alone server. The steps are pretty simple. First download the tarball then unpack it into a temporary directory. Then you would build the executable in the standard way:
./configure --enable-standalone
make
make install
It comes with a manual in pdf format. You can get a better idea of what to compile into you server by reading that. You can get qpopper here:
./configure --enable-standalone
make
make install
