Yes, "port upgrade" deactivates an existing version, after the new  
version is installed and before the new version is activated.  
However, cyrus-sasl2 seems to have the special need that an existing  
version must be deactivated before the new version is built, else  
presumably the new build doesn't work. Hence, the cyrus-sasl2 port  
specifically adds a check for that.
