Not really.  Just be aware of what you want to do.  I set it up for a
client once, only to find out that his users only use Outlook Express,
which only supports LOGIN (obsolete) -- basically plain text transfer
of passwords.  :-P

Check:  http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/mel/SASL_ClientRef.html

OpenSSL is already part of the FreeBSD base system, so you can just
start right away with installing cyrus-sasl.

Yes, do that first.  Then compile sendmail with "-DSASL".  The docs
with cyrus-sasl should be able to help you along the way...
