That was it.  Thanks Ryan.  Good spotting!

[13:26] nightowl:~/Desktop % ls -l /opt
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  12 Sep 19  2009 /opt@ -> /private/opt

[13:51] nightowl:/ % sudo port provides /opt/local/sbin/sasldblistusers2        
/opt/local/sbin/sasldblistusers2 is provided by: cyrus-sasl2

Ahhh.  All better now.  Thanks again.
