Yes, it is evil to leave the *.sample files behind, you'll need to add
2 lines to the package:

@unexec if cmp -s %D/etc/example.conf %D/etc/example.conf-dist; then
rm -f %D/etc/example.conf; fi
etc/example.conf-dist
@exec [ -f %B/example.conf ] || cp %B/%f %B/example.conf

the @unexec removes example.conf if it is the same as example.conf-dist
the @exec creates example.conf if it doesn't exist

You'll need to have your port create and remove the empty directories:

@cwd /var
@mode ug=rwx,o=
@exec mkdir -p /var/state/saslauthd1
@exec chown -R cyrus:cyrus state
@exec chmod -R o= state
@unexec rmdir /var/state/saslauthd1
@unexec rmdir /var/state
