Correct.

The source for sendmail in OpenSolaris is the same as the source available
from sendmail.org; for the flags we compile it with, see:

http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/sendmail/Makefile.cmd
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/sendmail/src/Makefile

Then you'll have to wait a while.  I have an RFE for this, but it has been
on hold for a long time and not likely to see action any time soon.  The
short version is that you can build with -DSASL=2 and link with -lsasl and
you can get things to work if the only mech you're using is GSSAPI.  But
if you want the {CRAM,DIGEST}-MD5 mechs, then you'll have to roll your own
libsasl.
