I configured cyrus-sasl using these options:

$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/local CFLAGS=-m64 CXXFLAGS=-m64 LDFLAGS=-m64 \
         --with-plugindir=/opt/local/lib/sasl2 
--with-configdir=/opt/local/etc/sasl2

After running "make install", all the files I built are in /tmp/local, 
but know to look for their config & plugins under Joyent's /opt/local 
tree. Then as root I make a backup of the old 
/opt/local/lib/libsasl2.so.2.0.25, and copied 
/tmp/local/lib/libsasl2.so.2.0.25 into /opt/local/lib.
