Actually, the postfix in -current (from at least 5.99.40, so probably
also in 6) provides SASL by default. I'm using it with dovecot from
pkgsrc.

When I set it up in March 2011 I followed

  http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix_sasl

It's been a long time, so I don't remember the details, but if you're
struck, try asking again.
