I tested your patch and it works for me.

# pkg_version -vIL = | grep postfix
postfix-2.7.2,1    <   needs updating (index has 2.8.4,1)

# id postfix
uid=125(postfix) gid=125(postfix) groups=125(postfix),6(mail),3125(maildirs)

# patch < ~/bsd.port.mk.diff

# portmaster postfix-2.7.2,1

         Upgrade of mysql-client-5.1.53 to mysql-client-5.1.58
         Upgrade of libtool-2.2.10 to libtool-2.4
         Upgrade of cyrus-sasl-2.1.23_1 to cyrus-sasl-2.1.23_3

# id postfix
uid=125(postfix) gid=125(postfix) groups=125(postfix),6(mail),3125(maildirs)

It was tested on really old testing system...

Thank you for your time and working solution.
