It's not quite clear how you are doing the rebuild of sendmail or the  
world with the Cyrus SASL stuff integrated; what commands you run and  
a bit more output (use script or nohup) would be helpful.  This being  
said, when I was using sendmail+SMTP AUTH rather than Postfix, adding  
something like the following to /etc/make.conf would result in the  
"make buildworld" process giving one a SMTP AUTH capable sendmail:

   SENDMAIL_CFLAGS+= -DMILTER -DSTARTTLS -DHASURANDOMDEV
   SENDMAIL_CFLAGS+= -I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/usr/local/include - 
DSASL=2
   SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS+= -L/usr/local/ssl/lib
   SENDMAIL_LDADD+= -lssl -lcrypto

Note that this config predates OpenSSL being part of base, so you  
could probably remove the references to "-I/usr/local/ssl/include"  
and "-L/usr/local/ssl/lib" on a newer version of FreeBSD...
