Mac OS X comes with cyrus sasl but has many of the things you need
disabled. The libraries are in /usr/lib/sasl2/disabled/. Just copy those
into /usr/lib/sasl2/ and they are available fr use.

I've got the setup of cyrus SASL and Mac OS X SASL documented when you
want to use it for Postfix. Have a look at my site:
http://switch.richard5.net on how to do it.
Had some problems myself when helping someone else on an Intel Mac using
SASL but just needed some tweaking to compiling Postfix. G4 and G5 macs
run without any problem.
The only difference is that I used courier IMAP and courier auth instead
of the Cyrus stack.
Darwin ports are excellent but add a lot of other things as well on top,
all the dependencies get installed as well which you might already have
on your system. If you use darwinports you'd better use it for
everything and not a small portion of your setup.
I'm willing to help if you get stuck !
Richard
