Maybe you cannot start saslauthd before sendmail, but you
certainly can start sendmail after saslauthd.
/etc/rc.sendmail was designed to be compatible with
usage from ${local_startup}
So, disable sendmail startup by setting
mta_start_script=""
in /etc/rc.conf
copy /etc/rc.sendmail to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/whatever.sh
and that's all she wrote.
