For Cyrus 2, you need to use SASL2.  Ie, saslpasswd2 and sasldblistusers2.

For PAM, I assume you are running saslauthd with -a pam, right?  As for 
the specific /etc/pam.d/* or /etc/pam.conf (wherever it is stored on 
BSD) entries, both Linux and Solaris have default definitions which are 
used when the given service name isn't listed, and those work for me.  I 
don't know how PAM is setup on BSD, and the names of modules are likely 
to be very different (Linux and Solaris are both quite different).  You 
should be able to duplicate the login auth section for imap and pop3 and 
tweak from there.
