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.
