mail/sendmail-sasl/Makefile only sets some variables.

SENDMAIL_WITH_TLS=      yes
.if defined(SENDMAIL_WITH_SUID)
# only for compatibility with sendmail 8.11.x
SENDMAIL_WITH_SASL=     yes
SENDMAIL_WITH_SFIO=     yes
SENDMAIL_WITH_MILTER=   yes
MASTERDIR?=     ${.CURDIR}/../sendmail-old
.else
SENDMAIL_WITH_SASL2=    yes
MASTERDIR?=     ${.CURDIR}/../sendmail
.endif

and after it includes 
.include "${MASTERDIR}/Makefile"

So it should work. Did you do a make clean in mail/sendmail-sasl and mail/sendmail before ?

1. Use sysutils/portupgrade - it will greatly simplify your work
2. Without the errors, no.
3. make -DSENDMAIL_WITH_SASL clean all install clean. From what I know you should pass the boolean options using -D.
