From the same place you ran `make install` to install postfix from
ports, what does this return?   `make -V PORT_OPTIONS`

Also, `fgrep -e smtpd_sasl_type -e cyrus /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf`

It sounds as if your local ports tree is configured to enable SASL and
your config is using cyrus?

Default port options do not enable SASL so in turn FreeBSD pkg repos
won't have this enabled either.
