We need a port that allows dovecot2 SASL by default.  There are a bunch of

I agree. I use the "postfix-current" port with Dovecot, TLS, SASL and DANE.
However, Dovecot itself has a vast number of options that might make it
extremely hard to work out a usable slave-port.

The parts of Dovecot needed by Postfix are independent of all of the options provided by the mail/dovecot2 port because Postfix literally only needs the headers that define the dovecot-auth socket protocol. As long as the version matches exactly, a custom build of dovecot2 will drop in place of the stock dovecot2 without recompiling postfix.
