You would use  \$ to escape the dollar sign in a Makefile.  Also you
may need to use three \  ( \\\$ ).

Also is the above RUN_DEPENDS for a port that your working on?
If it is, then the RUN_DEPENDS is wrong, it is supposed to point to a
program/port that it depends on at run time.

RUN_DEPENDS+= ${LOCALBASE}/cyrus/bin/deliver:${PORTSDIR}/security/cyrus-sasl

Then you use a CONFIGURE_ARG for the --with-delivery-agent setting.
