Why don't you use the ports collection? Should make your life easier.

Are you sure this is what you want? Not perhaps -a pam?

So just create the directory and see what happens?

I guess using the ports collection and doing something like
'/usr/local/etc/rc.d/saslauthd start' (dont know the correct path
by heart and cannot check it atm since my FreeBSD box is at home)
will get your nearer to your goal.
