It should, because it calls this:
.if defined(WITH_SASL2)
LIB_DEPENDS+= sasl2.2:${PORTSDIR}/security/cyrus-sasl2
POSTFIX_CCARGS+= -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I${LOCALBASE}/include
-I${LOCALBASE}/include/sasl
POSTFIX_AUXLIBS+= -L${LOCALBASE}/lib -lsasl2 -lpam -lcrypt
.endif

Yes, you need to install saslauthd, however, if you checked the OPTION when you
installed Postfix, it's most likely already installed. You *also* need to
enable saslauthd in /etc/rc.conf:
[root@mail /usr/ports/mail/postfix]# grep sasl /etc/rc.conf
saslauthd_enable="YES"
saslauthd_flags=" -a pam -n 2"
(This uses /etc/passwd through pam, btw.)
Look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/saslauthd.sh for the options and flags available or
read man (8) saslauthd.
