While your at it, it would be nice if the WITH_SASL and WITH_SASL2 knobs would be unified. Some ports interpret WITH_SASL as 'link against libsasl2', while others (those listed above?) interpret it as 'link against libsasl' I think it was openldap vs postfix, where I found out about this. It makes it unnecessary hard to use one common var in /etc/make.conf for SASL2 support.
